It means that Turbo Tax sent them, but the IRS and your state have not processed or accepted them yet. It can take 48-72 hours for the IRS and your state to receive, accept and update the status to accepted from when you filed them.
I filed mine then 20 minutes later my exes. His shows received by TurboTax at 1:46 received by the irs at 1:47 accepted at 2:31. Mine shows received by TurboTax at 1:27 received by irs unknown.
The IRS pulls once every 24 hours and has a set amount they pull. You might not have made the cut off for that time period and your ex did.
It’s basically showing that they haven’t been transmitted to the irs. There’s no pull. I file through TurboTax every year for 5 people. It always shows transmitted to the irs right after being transmitted to TurboTax.
Also this was on Saturday so I didn’t make the cut off for any of the days?
So no response? That’s truly not helpful at all smh. There’s clearly and issue on turbo taxes end and it needs to be fixed ASAP.
Just an FYI to anyone else that has this problem. It was a problem on turbo taxes end. Turbotaxwill was completely wrong and full of crap. It took multiple fb messages followed by 2 phone calls and an hour and 20 minutes on the phone but turbo tax did eventually figure out the issue and transmitted my returns on February 6th.
What if its beend a week an I still havent received an acceptance it's still saying pending

Your tax returns will remain Pending until the IRS and your state start receiving tax returns. Most states will not start receiving tax returns until on or after the IRS officially opens to receive federal tax returns.

The Refund status is Unknown because the IRS has not received your tax return.
Your tax returns will remain Pending until the IRS start receiving tax returns.

My taxes were filed on January 26
My federal says received today but my Ohio State says status pending/unknown
Wonder what's going on
The IRS began processing returns today, January 27th. You can see the TurboTax FAQ below about pending returns:
https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/return-status/help/what-does-pending-mean/00/26331
You can check the status of your tax refund 24 hours after e-filing or 4 weeks after you mailed in your return. Updates are made daily and usually overnight.
You will need your social security number or ITIN, your exact refund amount and filing status to check the status.
Refunds can be issued in less than 21 days, but there are cases where it can take longer to process.
Please see the TurboTax FAQ below for more information on tracking your tax refund:
So it's the 29th , now what's the problem ?
Received by Turbo Tax : January 27th
Received by IRS : Unknown
Is TurboTax not sending my return for some reason ?
TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS once they have accepted your return. Each state handles its own refunds
Please click the TurboTax help link, listed below, to learn how to track your State return and to see if your state has started accepting returns.
