The IRS does not begin to accept/reject e-files until January 29. You get the advance when and if the IRS accepts your e-file. You will be waiting until 1-29 or later for that.

Are you sure it was Accepted already? And not just submitted? The IRS doesn't open until Jan 29 unless they took some early to test.

You will be waiting awhile. The IRS won't be accepting returns until 1/29/24. Until then the returns will wait on Turbo Tax servers until the IRS pulls them.

Then you don't get it until AFTER your efile is Accepted by the IRS on or after 1/29/24.

It says......Funding occurs after IRS acceptance.

The IRS does do a very few test pulls early, so it's remotely possible.

I just don't know what the advance does in that situation....or if they wait to the official start date.
