Is the IRS accepting tax returns early?

I had my taxes all sorted(I’m using Tax Slayer) and was just waiting for them to actually submit the return when it’s time. I was figuring it wouldn’t be until around the 29th, but I just got an email tonight that said the irs had accepted my federal return. Are they accepting returns already, or is that email probably a mistake and/or unrelated? Any ideas?

Mine was accepted a week ago, I don’t think this is “early.” When will they cut the checks? Now that’s another story.

It’s like Ned Flanders says, “Oh, January 1st! Better get going on those taxes Neddy.”

I usually wait until Feb to be sure I got all my forms but I wouldn’t think now is that early.

It’s definitely possible one of my family members just filed today as well.
