It is pending because the IRS has not officially opened to receive tax returns - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-opens-2020-filing-season-for-individual-filers-on-jan-27

Mine still says pending and isn’t showing up on IRS website. I know others who have filed and theirs is showing up on IRS website that they were received but mine isn’t showing it, it keeps telling me to check my information and try again.

Small batches of tax returns are pulled by the IRS for testing the IRS systems.  This happens each tax year.
