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.

 

 

Keep calm and check back

Until your state or the IRS processes your return,  you may hear there's "no record found." That actually means the return's still being processed. Just check back in a few days.

Pending since the 12th and turbotax isn't showing the correct refund info.

It can take 24-48 hours after you submit your return for it to be accepted. The IRS opened for business on Friday, and the weekends are not counted as business hours. 

 

What do you mean Turbo Tax does not have the correct information?

My return has been pending since before 2/12/21 and I’ve called customer service twice without any answers as to why.
