Your e-filed return is still in pending on the server because the IRS is currently accepting/rejecting/processing returns. Sometimes it can take more than 48 hours to process. Only a few returns were accepted early in a test batch. Everyone else has been waiting. Please see the TurboTax FAQ below for more information on pending returns:

False because I know people who has the same day and they return has been accepted already! I don’t know what’s the wrong but I need answers
You will need to wait to receive notification of either the return being accepted or rejected. The IRS does not work on first come, first serve. There will always be people who get accepted before you and people who get accepted after you. Once TurboTax submits the return, we get no updates from the government unless the return is rejected, in which cause you will be notified. If you went through the entire return and got a message that your return was successfully filed, you should not have to do anything else except wait for the accepted or rejected status notification.

So if it still says “pending” a week from now what should I do .. I never had to wait this long just to get my tax return accepted or rejected
Although it typically takes 24-48 hours, it sometimes can take longer. More details on your pending return has been posted for you below.
