Every year the IRS processes some tax returns early to test their systems. They will not, however, pay out any refunds early. Not until after Jan 23.
YAY Me! Mine was accepted 01/13/17 2:04pm EST (or at least that when I got the email from TT).
Anyone able to track their delivery date on IRS website? Mine says they cannot provide any information on my refund. But then says if I filed a complete and accurate return then payment will be received in about 21 days after received blah blah blah...anyone else?
I got an acceptance 1/13/17 and an est. dd of 1/24-2/13
Yes same for mines, I haven't check IRS.gov yet, because early acceptance doesn't mean we will get the money sooner
Same here the 13 so would we receive on that first DD date????
Mine is showing up on where's my refund .. as accepted ... so yea there's hope ... lol , but why did they accept us ? Are we more less just early acceptance ??
Testing of the IRS system. Some new program they are running. I searched around I got 1000 different answers. Some say 3 to 5 days some say the day after opening day the deposit would be made. But TT said the from the 24 of Jan. No later then the 13 of Feb. I checked the IRS cite it said it was accepted the 24 would be 11 days after acceptance so cross your fingers either way I'm happy with Turbo Tax. Good luck.
If you filed early and took advantage of the child tax credit or the earned income tax credit you won't get your return til on or after February 15. It says it on the IRS website. Even if accepted early they are checking for fraud
I was able to track mine on the IRS website last Friday and today i am not able to...idk whats going on
In theory:
IF you are accepted early (before opening day) You CAN Possibly have your money by Opening day.
For the last 5 years I have been accepted early. Last year being the exception ( took 23 days ).
You are supposed to start Counting your days from DATE of acceptance it should not take any loner than 8-11 days .. BUT Remember this is the IRS we are talking about .
I do believe they are Updating this morning. Mine is NOT showing up but It did yesterday.
No information will show if it is updating.
(usually between 4am-8am is when they update) its 7:25 east coast time.
They claim they update daily Last year I found it only to be TWICE a week . (Tuesday and Thursday)
Early acceptances are usually 10 days prior to opening day.
For those with EITC you may or may not seen any movement until after 2/15?
No way of knowing if they are taking them early.
Transcripts Theory :
If you can order your transcripts then your return has been completed and about to be paid out.
Your transcripts CAN NOT be ready IF your return has NOT Completed the cycle.
Hope that helps all

I logged in to IRS to track refund today, before it said no information can be provided. They obviously updated and now it says refund is being processed, but TT says I should receive my refund between 1/24-2/13, anyone else have this???
The TT dates are somewhat misleading, as they are based on traditional IRS turnaround times.
So do I check back on Thursday when they update again? @SweetieJean
Mine was accepted today! I was not expecting that at all, glad I found this thread. Puts me at ease
My taxes were accepted today and i claim children didnt expect this at all
Mines accepted to no child credits so I got my fingers crossed
