How long does a pending federal tax return take to get accepted?

The time it takes to process a tax return will vary. When you e-file your tax return, you will receive two emails. The first email only confirms the transmission was received.  The second email will state if the IRS or your state either accepted or rejected your e-file. Please see the information in this TurboTax FAQ that explains in more detail the pending process here.
