MY RETURN IS IN PENDING—what does that mean?
Did you e-file? Did you click that big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?” If so, your return is now in “pending” on a server. Do not try to change anything while your return is in pending. If your return is rejected you will be able to make corrections before re-filing.
The IRS will not be accepting/rejecting 2020 returns until Friday, February 12, 2021. You need to watch your emails for the acceptance/rejection notice that may take until mid-February or later to arrive. And watch your spam folder too.
When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first one will say that your return was submitted. The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected. If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.
A state return cannot be accepted until the federal return has been accepted.
We do not know if entering the wrong stimulus amount will delay your refund --- or for how long if it does. The IRS has not offered any guidance yet on how they will handle returns that have incorrect stimulus amounts entered. We all just have to wait and see.
I entered the wrong amount on the stimulus payment I filed early it says accepted but it will be 600.00 more than what I should get what should I do now
All you can do now is wait. If the IRS adjusts your refund, you won't need to do anything. But if they don't and you receive the double payment, you will need to file an amended return. The amendment process won't be available until the end of March. So, if you do receive the full amount of your refund, come back after you receive it and you will be able to e-file an amendment then. @Mattinky65
I did the same thing and haven’t received my return. It’ll be 21 days tomorrow. Have you received your return @Mattinky65
Mine says accepted and that a date will be given when available I e filed early but I don't no if they will correct it or if I need to amend it
Mine says accepted on turbo tax federal and state but when I check the tracker it says it’s still being processed
Turbo Tax will not have a status on your refund. If the IRS website says processing, this means they are working on it.
