@CHRISTIEMSCOTT Most of basic returns are all done by computer, it's all automated unless a red flag pops up and it needs review by an actual person. Your return can be accepted even before tax season starts and then it will be approved but no returns should have been issued before the 28th which is when tax season actually opens. If you don't have EI or ACTC your refund should post pretty fast. People who have those credit have to wait until mid/late February. If yours doesn't have those though that seems like a pretty basic timeline to me.
