When date does IRS start accepting 2017 electronic refunds?

[AnnaB]

Edited: The IRS is now accepting e-filed returns for the 2016 tax year; however, some state Department of Revenue's have not yet begun to accept e-filed returns.

The IRS will start processing returns on 1/23/2017.  They may accept/reject earlier, but processing will be delayed until the date they "open for business".

They rejected my efile do to the wrong Agi on 1/14  . It was fixed 20 mins and resent will there be a delay

[AnnaB]

No, same acceptance.

The IRS takes some test returns before their official open date, which is Jan 23.  But they don't start processing refunds until the start date.

Also, if your return was taken in a test batch early, and rejected and you send it back, it is not clear whether it will be looked at again early because it was in the test batch, or if the resubmitted return won't be looked at until after the 23rd.

Edited since the IRS is now accepting; however, some states have NOT started accepting e-filed returns yet (seems like NY is one of those @Buttonz per my experience and other things I am reading.
