My taxes say pending state and federal what do that mean

"Pending" is normal. It can sometimes take a few days up to a few weeks for your return to be accepted by the IRS. There is a high volume of returns for them to process. This article will provide more details. https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/4193097 

You can stay updated on your refund by visiting Where's My Refund?. It usually takes up to 21 days from the date it is accepted for you to receive your refund.


You can track your state return through your state's tax website. They will keep you up to date on the progress of your return. There's usually a phone number provided for you to call too. Just click on your state from the list and follow the instructions. https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3300211
