@jchristinerojas Your friend's return must have been in one of the small test batches that were pulled to try out the system before they start accepting and processing everyone else's returns on Jan. 27.

Every tax year the IRS will pull a small batch of tax returns early to test the IRS systems. The vast majority of tax returns will not be pulled until on and after January 27
Ohh, I see. So, if ever its approved on the 27th. How long it takes before we get our refund?
The IRS target is 21 days after accepting the tax return to issue a tax refund. However, that is a target only and not a guarantee. Go to the IRS website for the tax refund status after 24 hours from being accepted - https://www.irs.gov/refunds
