You seem to be in a big hurry to e-file. If you are getting the refundable child tax credit, even if you e-file at the first possible moment, the IRS is going to hold your refund---you will not receive it until late February at the earliest, due to the PATH act.

Many forms are not yet ready. Here is a link to when forms should be available. The dates are subject to change.

Tax form availability tool,

Make sure you really have everything entered before you e-file.

You must include every 2023 W-2 on the same tax return. Employers have until the end of January to issue W-2’s. Wait until you have all of your W-2’s. Clients, schools, Social Security, banks and other financial institutions may not have tax documents available until late January/early February. ALL of your tax documents must be entered on the same Form 1040; do not file unless you have entered everything.

Users who rush to file early often end up under review or file with mistakes that require them to amend later. If you file before the IRS is accepting returns, your return just sits on a server, where you will be powerless to fix any mistakes you discover after you file. No changes can be made when your return is pending on a server. And….every year…..Every. Year. …..we get users who want to know how to fix their incorrect e-filed returns that are sitting on the server.
