It seems likely that there was no single date for the start of the "Final Solution".
The mass killings started in June 1941 when SD death squads (mobile killing units) moved into the Soviet Union behind the advancing German armies. Their first killing spree was in Kaunas, Lithuania, on 25 June 1941.
Some older books date the start from the Wannsee Conference of 20 January 1942. However, this was a short meeting (90 minutes) intended mainly to deal with practical administrative co-ordination, not policy. Moreover, routine mass gassings had already started at Chelmno on 8 December 1941. In other words, the Holocaust had already begun.
