I would reach out to customer service because they should have been accepted by now good luck

[cherriesplz24]

Thanks I will

[cherriesplz24]

Can anyone that’s still pending let me know if you get accepted today I’ve been waiting for over a week now still nothing

[sheltonholland]

I called customer service the other day and they were fairly unsure as well and just provided me links, no real answers. I believe we just have to wait. I hear state is just slower and it seems to be more prominent this year. I’ll let the group know when my state is accepted.

@sheltonholland both my federal and state are still pending I’m getting really frustrated at this point

Still pending I have a feeling it has to do with the shutdown because I've always got excepted practically the same day they start accepting returns. But who knows

[cherriesplz24]

@justjohn825 yes same here never waited just to get accepted I’m so stressed over this

The IRS pulls tax returns from all the various tax preparation company servers.  Just because the IRS just started processing 2018 tax returns on 01/28 does not mean all the several million returns that have been filed early are going to be pulled within 24 to 48 hours at the start of the tax season.  Those hours would be correct for later in the season.

Mine was accepted. Likely just a backlog.

i filed and was accepted both on 1/30. was accepted within about an hour. seems like every year people that file before the opening day - 1/28/19 this year - seem to get stuck for a few before accepted. this has always prompted me to wait a few days after they officially open.

I filed Jan 25th and still pending,

[cherriesplz24]

Got accepted for both federal and state just waiting game now

[hiker2424]
