are state tax returns accepted on the weekend?

[aurgo]

federal return was accepted on April 17th. My NJ state return remains pending more than 24 hours later today on April 18th. Today April 18th is a NJ state holiday. Are state tax returns accepted on non-business days ?

New Jersey usually takes two or three days to accept an e-filed tax return, without any holidays. I don't know whether holidays extend the time further. But I certainly would not expect a New Jersey return to be accepted in 24 hours. I'm sure you will eventually hear from the state, but it probably won't be until next week.
