When I put in my e-file today would I have to wait for January 29th for my advance since that’s when IRS start accepting taxes?

Yes.  You get the Advance after the IRS accepts it.

It says......after IRS acceptance.

That is correct.   You do not get any money for that advance until the IRS accepts your e-file.  They start that on 1-29.

OK folks ... the IRS has started ACCEPTING  some returns in test batches so you may get the advance prior to the 29th however don't count on it as the advance is not guaranteed.  The IRS will start PROCESSING  returns on the 29th  even if you are accepted earlier.  

I completed my taxes and submitted for efile on 01/17. It has been showing my date submitted as 01/22. So I will let you guys know if I happen to get my refund advance today. 

Ignore any TT dates posted ... the 1/22 date was the estimated start of the IRS processing returns which has been officially posted as 1/29.  Once you file you should only rely on the info you get on the IRS web site here:

Yeah I filed mine about a week ago and got the email on 1/19/2024 stating the IRS accepted my Federal Return. So I went to the official federal refund tracker and it does state it was accepted, just hasn't moved to the approved status yet.

Anything yet? Hoping mine gets magically accepted today so I can get an advance 😅

Uhhh no. It is still showing date submitted as today's date but still says pending.  

State was accepted today 1/22/2024.

For some reason turbo tax help center claims the IRS will start accepting e-file returns on the 24th

Where did you see that? 

Originally the IRS announced January 24th, but changed it to January 29th.

When does the IRS start accepting e-filed returns?

So I did the advanced it says accepted but I haven't received anything it got accepted Friday 

Have you received your loan yet ?

My return was excepted on the 19th but still haven't received my return advance.  

My tax return got accepted on the 12th of January and it’s says on the irs website it is being processed

I filed on free tax USA I’m just curious if they are processing them before the 29th , it says they are but are they really ? I don’t get any advance from free tax USA I don’t think 

My mom filed with taxnet financial and got her advance 4 days ago 

this is what mine is saying and I don’t understand it.  Why would it say it’s already been filed when I haven’t filed at all for 2023 yet

I filed my taxes today 1/24/24 and got my advance in two hours.

I am in the same boat. Accepted 1/19/2024 still nothing. When I call First Century Bank they say I am in the pre qualifications stage still. Till the IRS opens January 29, 2024.. Holding on for hope that it goes through that is the only reason I filed with TurboTax.

Wow, really? I filed on the 20th and haven’t heard anything since then. How does one even know if they were approved for the advance?
