When does the “21 days” begin for processing time?

Although some returns may be accepted into the test batch prior to the opening day of tax season, the “21 days” the IRS says to allow for processing doesn’t officially begin until the opening day. If you filed on or after opening day then your “21 days” begins on the day your return was accepted.
