Millions of returns were waiting on the servers for acceptance/rejection when the IRS opened on January 24.   Wait patiently and watch your emails.

 

When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.

Mine still hasn’t been accepted yet either, 72 hours later. I spoke to customer service yesterday and they said that TT hasn’t even sent it to iRS yet.  I don’t know what to do

I’ve been wondering the same. First time I was not accepted within 24 hours. Going on 2 1/2 days now and it’s still pending.

It can take a bit longer before the return is accepted. Please be sure to check your efile status by following the instructions here, to ensure no issues have occurred. @Donname404
