IRS acceptance of return

It seems to be taking a long time to get e-file accepted

So you already submitted (actually transmitted) an efiled return?  If you already efiled a 2020 return, there is nothing else to do until you find out if the IRS either accepts or rejects the efiled return.   Unfortunately, due to late tax law changes the IRS will not even open up to start processing until February 12, 2021, except for a few returns they pull early for testing purposes.  In the meantime the return will sit on TurboTax servers with a "pending" status (check at the Tax Home) but cannot be retrieved to cancel or make any changes.   So unless yours is one of the very few returns pulled early by the IRS, you won't know anything until February 12 or soon thereafter.

You have to keep waiting.  IRS won't open filing until Feb 12, 2021 this year!
