Pending simply means that your e-filed return is on its way and that the government hasn't accepted or rejected it yet.

If you e-filed your return in January, it'll stay in Pending status until the IRS starts processing the backlog of returns.

After January, e-filed returns generally sit in Pending status for 24-48 hours before coming back as either Accepted or Rejected. Sometimes state returns stay in Pending for several days or even longer.

My state taxes has been showing pending since 02/11/2021. Why 

[TheRealTax2]

Same here. Mine has been pending since 2/12 while fed was accepted. I need file amendments but was advised that I need to wait for acceptance first.

It varies, but normally it takes 24-48 hours. Also, the identity-protection safeguards implemented by the IRS in recent years may account for longer wait times. Eventually, you will receive an email letting you know whether or not your return has been accepted or rejected. TurboTax FAQ "What does Pending mean? "states, "Pending simply means that your e-filed return is on its way and that the government hasn't accepted or rejected it yet.

Sometimes state returns stay in Pending for several days or even longer. If you contact the government or try to look up your refund status while your return is still pending, don't be surprised if they tell you "no record found." This is normal; until the government starts reviewing and processing your return, they won't have any record of it."

My state return, which was prepared and filed using the TurboTax Deluxe 2020 software, still says pending. I filed both federal and state on 2/2/21. Federal was accepted on 2/11/21 and i already have received my refund. The state (NY) says it is still pending. When will this change?

[CarissaM]

That will determine how fast the state is able to accept the return.

I know how to check my NYS refund once it has been accepted. I used to work for NYS Department of Taxation and Finance. In prior years, my federal and state returns were accepted within a day of each other. Is there a way I can call someone at TurboTax to make sure that my return is not stuck in the system and that it is currently being transmitted to them? I know I had submitted both returns BEFORE the filing period opened up this year which I normally don't submit them until filing period has opened.

If you filed your federal and state returns at the same time, your state return may not start processing at the same time as your federal.

It's not unusual for state returns to remain in a pending status for several days after a federal return has been accepted.
