This is just a friendly message letting you know the IRS has announced the first official day for e-filing is January 29th, 2024 with the last day of e-file without extension this year being April 15th, 2024.
You can still submit returns and have them sit at the EFC waiting to be e-filed and they may be sent as early as next week (around 15th of Jan) during the Testing phase. Keep in mind, once you send a tax return to the EFC we can NOT stop it, or retrieve it.
