The IRS will begin to accept/reject 2023 e-files on January 29.   And….a state return cannot be accepted until after the IRS accepts your federal return.

Yes, the IRS will begin processing e-filed tax returns on January 29 this year.

 

They have selected a small number of test returns to start processing before January 29, which is why you may have heard of someone whose return has been accepted already. 

 

That process is entirely random, so there isn't anything you can do to speed up the process.

 

Keep in mind that the initial processing of your e-file may take 24 to 48 hours, so you could remain in pending status until February 1.
