Your tax returns will remain Pending until the IRS starts receiving tax returns. It may be several days after the IRS start date before your tax return gets accepted or rejected.

Go to this IRS website for the official start date - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-opens-2020-filing-season-for-individual-filers-on-jan-27

If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds

Because every tax year the IRS will pull small batches of tax returns from the various tax preparation company servers for testing the IRS systems.  The Vast majority of tax return will not be accepted or rejected until the IRS officially starts receiving tax returns.
