A statement from Accountability Minnesota:

IRS delayed its season to Jan. 30:  The IRS will begin accepting tax returns on January 30, eight days later than planned. AAM will still open our tax clinics on Jan. 24 (but returns will not be filed until January 30). It’s important to note that this delay applies to all tax preparers (free sites, paid preparers and self-preparers). Please be aware of advertisements that state otherwise.
