Some returns may take longer than others. More details on why your return may be taking longer has been provided by clicking here.
Does that FAQ apply to everyone, or only to people who get an email from Turbotax? I don't think it's true that all tax returns taking more than 48 hours are under review by Turbotax.
Once a tax return is deposited in the "data warehouse" it is up to the IRS to connect and download it. No one really knows what their schedule is or how often they connect. They shut down for 6 hours every Sunday for maintenance, but they don't disclose their regular schedule that I know of. They might take weekends off early in the tax season, or have a computer problem updating for new tax rules.
Same boat here…I used Credit Karma last year and the last 6 previous years without this kind of delay, not sure if it’s due to the current IRS changes. But then again, it was the same situation last year, yet mine didn’t pend for this long. The only diff I can think of is that I used Credit Karma versus TurboTax. At this point I can’t even just cancel the submission and just redo it using a different platform and not TurboTax. If this delay continues, I will be looking for a different platform for next tax season.
My taxes are also still pending.. last year everything got accepted on the first day.. in confused why I'm still waiting..
