Can I file my taxes already

[DoninGA · Accepted solution]

No.

You cannot file a 2016 tax return until after January 1, 2017.  You will need all your Form W-2's and Form 1099's plus any other tax data before a return can be filed.  The IRS will have your tax data in their systems so if you file a return that does not match what the IRS has, then they will either reject your tax return or hold the return for weeks or months to investigate.

The IRS will not be accepting any type of tax return until mid to late January.  Any tax returns that have a tax refund that includes EIC or an Additional Child Tax Credit will be held by the IRS until February 15.
