If last year is any indication, yes - and our experience was that returns submitted the day after the IRS started processing ended up processing faster than those that went in the initial batches uploaded by them the first day. For those familiar with the IRS processes - modernized e-file went faster than those stuck in the “legacy” e-file system. Last year they started accepting returns around the 17th as I recal. 2 weeks more worth of returns is going to overload they system ( We complete probably 30% of our entire season of returns during those 2 weeks - I personally completed 89 returns during January last year, and I’m not a top producer).
