I did my taxes when will it be accepted

If you submitted your efile it will sit on Turbo Tax servers until the IRS pulls them which won't be until late January (I've  heard Jan 24).  If you submitted it you can't get it back to change or fix anything.  Like if you get another tax form you weren't expecting.  They have until Jan 31 to send you the W2 and 1099 forms.

Your return will be in "pending" status until the IRS begins to accept/reject e-files later in January.  Presently, it is sitting on a server.

 

 

MY RETURN IS IN PENDING—what does that mean?

 

Did you e-file?  Did you click that big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”  If so, your return is now in “pending” on a server.  Do not try to change anything while your return is in pending. Later in January the IRS will begin to accept/reject e-files.   Watch your emails—including your spam folder—for the notice about whether your e-file has been accepted or rejected.  If your return is rejected you will be able to make corrections before re-filing.   If the return you e-filed is accepted you will have to wait until it has been fully processed and then amend it to fix any mistakes or omissions.  It has been taking the IRS six to nine months—sometimes longer—to process amended returns.   If you e-filed your state return there will be another email later that tells you if the state was accepted or rejected.
