I usually get an update saying my return has been accepted within a day or two.
Your tax returns will remain Pending until the IRS starts receiving tax returns.
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
Oh gosh thank you! I just saw the start date. Thank you!
