My returns have been ‘pending’ for days now and turbo tax told me there is nothing they can do. IRS has no record of them. What do I do?

If it's been more than 48 hours since you submitted the return and your e-filing refund status is pending or hasn't changed, wait an additional 24-48 hours before you check again. The IRS occasionally experiences a high volume of traffic, which can delay processing returns

I’m going through this right and getting no answers. How long did it take overall for your return to get accepted by the IRS? It’s been 24 hours and nothing.

Filed 2/2 

accepted 2/4 around 10pm 

still waiting on it to be processed with irs and get refund

Same issue happened to me and it is still pending with Turbotax. Called and they gave generic answer. I have filed with HR Block and was accepted in minutes. It looks like Turbotax is having internal issues with their product but they are not admitting. If they submit my return it will indicate to them that I have already filed.

Did it finally get accepted? How long did it take? I’m experiencing the same and now I’m freaking out lol

Pending means that it is in process.  A lot of things can hold up a tax return - usually it's credits like the earned income credit or electric vehicle credit - and the return will push through in a few days.

Mine is the same security but it’s because I use to file married joint under my husband now I am filing married separate. Still pending turbo tax is of no help. Did yours ever get accepted? 

[Yousaf]

I waited for days with TurboTax but finally had it enough and filed it with HR Block. They accepted in less than an hour and got my refund in 10 days. I did file with with TurboTax for the past 11 years but there was something wrong with their software this year. 

[Cutieroc76]

Exactly same thing is happening with me! Filing separate.  How long did yours take? 

[Cutieroc76]

You filed with turbo and were pending? Then you refilled with H&R??

asking because if I can redo my tax with someone else I will. 

My filing status changed so now my husband and I both have accounts so he filed was accepted in hours. I filed got a security warning. Called the number an automated system said it’s because my filing status change. Yet I’m still pending.

[Yousaf]

TurbTax did not submit it to the IRS. Pending means it is on its way and accepted means that IRS has received your tax return. So if you file with someone else, then it’s a race to gets to IRS first. Believe me IRS never received your return if the the status is pending still. Once in a while TurboTax emails me and says you could resubmit your return now. 

[Cutieroc76]

Thanks for that info. I will refile with someone else.
