Why is my return still pending?

Filed on 2/16. Still waiting.

TurboTax please reject all tax returns and provide a full refund immediately. We can then all send our returns in via USPS.

I will not be e-fling with TurboTax next year!

After filing Federal and state on 2/13 and being in Pending status for the past 8 days, I finally received a notice from turbotax that my federal tax return was rejected.

Form 1116 (Foreign Tax Credit) was indicated as the reason: 
/Return/ReturnData/IRS1116/ForeignTaxCreditSource/ForeignGrossIncomeAmt

- Data in the return is missing or invalid. Please double check your entries.

The squeaky wheel gets oil. 

If enough of us continue to post to this thread it might get someone’ attention at TT to at least provide some information about what is going on and a new time estimate.

Time to squeak.

Turbo tax has not submitted the return. There is a problem in the system where it says transmitted through default but is not in the irs data base. Instead of them looking into it they will consistently say in their end it’s been transmitted. That is why you will continue to wait for a response from the irs because they can’t accept or rejected something they do not have. Turbo tax never again. And what’s sad is you guys are not trying to write your wrong by simply checking wether there’s a glitch and although it’s says transmitted through default actually doing a little footwork and seeing if the returns are sent. To many people are making this claim it is not the irs. It’s this system and this is bad for business. They really going to pull something off to draw people to this system next year. Oh again I was an early filer filled feb 8th both state and federal as of 3/20 still pending

My fed was accepted on 2-11 my state which is Pa was accepted 2 days later but my refund still hasn’t been approved? I know someone that did theirs after me and got theirs already but the IRS2GO app still says theirs was accepted but the Approved tab is still gray like it wasn’t approved yet 🤷🏼‍♂

I'll tell you in general how it works.

Processing time at the IRS varies and cannot be compared to someone else's experience--there are too many variables.  Once it's through processing, then hopefully it will be approved.

The IRS says 9 out of 10 filers who efile and choose direct deposit will get their Federal refunds within 21 days after being accepted. Some returns are processed fairly quickly, while others require additional processing due to specific items in the return. Some are pulled at random for more thorough investigation. 

You said your returns were accepted, so you can use the "Where's My Refund" tool at the IRS website below (or the IRS2GO app) to monitor the status of your Federal refund. 
https://www.irs.gov/Refunds

NOTE: When using that tool,  be sure to enter the correct SSN and filing status.   For the refund amount, use only the Federal refund amount, and not any total refund amount that includes a state refund.
The amount to use is on your Federal Form 1040, Line 35a.

As for tracking your Pennsylvania state return, the FAQ below tells how.  The FAQ below also tells you how long it takes in Pennsylvania for the state return to be processed and how long for a payment to be made.

I filed my Federal Tax with TT on 2/17. Still says Pending.

TT needs to update this thread with an official response. Too many pending returns!
