Can you check my return that is still showing pending?

Please check to be sure that nothing additional needs to done?

No, no one here can check you personal tax information for you. 

 

When your return is pending, you have to wait until it gets accepted or rejected before you can do anything else. 

 

It is not unusual for a return to remain in pending status for up to four days.

Watch your emails.

 

When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.

How long has it been pending?  It can take up to 48 hours.  And with the due date April 15 there is a lot of returns filed so it might take longer.

 

Did you check your efile status here,
https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup


When you efile you get back 2 emails. The first email only confirms the transmission. The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile.


When you log into your account you should also see the status and if it was Accepted or Rejected, Started, Printed, Ready to Mail, etc. What does it say?
