You are correct, the IRS website does state that they will not begin accepting Tax Returns until 1/29/18.
However, the IRS does process some Tax Returns early as part of it's testing program.
Although your return was processed early, your refund still will not be processed until after 1/29/18.
To check the status of your federal
tax refund, go to Where's My Refund? at IRS.gov.
