I read somewhere the feds aren't going to process [/b]any[b] returns until mid Feb, so getting it in sooner wouldn't help much.
Correct. You can file sooner, but they won't begin accepting/processing until the 2/12/21. Depending upon your state, there still may be an advantage to filing ASAP if you are getting a state refund, and you file your fed/state taxes at the same time. That's what we did. We filed ours last week, and I filed my daughter's today. My daughter also has to file locally. We're mailing that tomorrow after her manager signs her exemption form. She's under 18, so she gets fed/state/local refunded in full.
