I didn't even think about whether or not it was too early to file, just slipped my mind. Was notified about my W-2 on 1/21/25 and filed. I got denied due to my pin not matching. I immediately corrected it on 1/22/25, was pending, but now shows that my federal was accepted. State is still pending.
Every year we see the IRS process some returns before the official opening date, but we don't know who, how many, or when they will do this. Turbotax allows early filing, but the returns sit in a data warehouse until the IRS downloads them. Also, early processing does not mean early payment.
It looks like you were one of the early returns that was processed, and everything is as expected so far. Remember that states process returns separately on their own schedule, and you will have to look at your state tax web site to see when they start processing tax returns.
