Will Intuit be holding efiled returns early this year 2022 like they did last year?

I know the efile day is January 24, 2022 but I was wondering if Intuit will be accepting efiled returns earlier than that date and holding them to send them off early on the 24th like they did last year?  If so, when if the first day they will accept efiled returns?

January 24th. 

As wonky as the software still is, hopefully it's safe to transmit anything on the 24th.

Boy, no kidding.  I've been dealing with a new software issue almost everyday!  I have managed to find fixes for a few on searches here.  Some...no luck.  Thanks IRonMaN

You betcha!

I sure hope so....I efiled an individual return yesterday 1/19/23 expecting to see a notice telling me to wait until Monday but Intuit received it. I am hoping they will send it to the IRS on Monday. Please let me know if I there will be a problem. No rejection this morning so I assume it is still there waiting.  I just figured I didn't see the notice that they were holding returns early and they are.

oopps, just noticed this was for the 2022 tax season, not 2023.

You are braver than me.  I wait a day or two after things open up before I transmit because I don't want to take a chance and start out tax season with a big thud.  But congratulations ----------------------- you do a much bolder job of running with scissors than I have ever done 😁
