I filed California Tax Return on 2/1/2021. It has been 2 weeks since I filed it. Why my return status is still pending?

You are not alone, while others who recently filed are getting accepted. Turbotax had an error and the software update fixed it and i think those who file now are fine but us who have ours pending will likely have to wait for it to be rejected so we can file again. Good luck trying to get turbotax to admit any fault or provide an useful information.

@daniel850221, Some of you have noticed an issue where your return has been in a pending status multiple days. This pending status means we noticed an issue that may have caused your return to be rejected and are doing an extra review to assess the reason it was flagged, resolve it for you, or identify what you need to do to ensure everything is accurate and your return is accepted.  

 

If this applies to you, we will be sending you an email within 48 hours with confirmation that your return has been filed, or instructions for any additional steps that need to be taken to ensure an accurate return is filed, accepted, and you receive every dollar you deserve. We apologize again this has caused a delay in receiving your refund.

I'm in the same boat. Filed 2/1, still pending.
