It's been a week and both my returns still say pending. Why?

The IRS will not begin accepting --or rejecting--tax returns until January 29, so until then, your return is sitting on a server, waiting.  In the meantime, do not add anything, delete anything or change anything on your return even if you discover that you need to.
