Filing Federal

On May 10, 2021, we completed and electronically submitted my federal return, which still reads PENDING and for which the 261.00 owed has not been charged. The filing deadline is 5/17/21. What's the delay?

    The IRS doesn't share your information with us once you send in your return. Pending simply means that your e-filed return is on its way and that the government hasn't accepted or rejected it yet.

     

    This year, many taxpayers returns are being delayed due to a processing backlog created by the pandemic, which shut down the IRS for a time.
