I am aware of all you have stated. However, my taxes are complete, and I am ready to file. There are personal reasons that are no one's business but my own for why I need to file as soon as possible. If the site says January 5, 2023, then TT should be accepting returns per their own advertised date. That is just common sense and good business practice. Not set in stone? Don't tell users it will open on that date if that is not the date it will open.
