@isabelwa No need to worry. It is the busy time and delays often happen.

A "pending" status in TurboTax means your e-filed return has been sent but not yet accepted or rejected by the IRS or state agency. This usually lasts 24–48 hours, but can take longer during high-volume periods or early in the season. The agency is awaiting processing or conducting a security review.

Do NOT attempt to refile or amend while this process is happening.

Make sure to CHECK YOUR EMAIL to ensure you received no notifications .

If this persists for a week, make sure to contact support. It normally will not but, in case.
