Question: what is the earliest you can get your taxes back?
Answer: Now, with a free IRS e-file, you can get your refund in as little as 8 days from when you file, if you elect for direct deposit. For 9 out of 10 taxpayers, the IRS issued refunds in less than 21 days from the date the return was received last year. The IRS announced they will open eFile processing on January 27, 2020.
