Question

Pending, for more than 48 hours.

Hi,

I submitted my 2019 tax return on last Thursday 2/13/2020, and as of today 2/17/2020, I still haven’t receive any notification.

I want to know it is accepted or rejecting, it still only shows pending on the status.

Anyone having the same issue?

    If your tax return is in pending status, that just means that your e-filed return is on its way and that the government has yet to accept or reject it. After January, It is not unusual for e-filed returns to sit in pending status a little bit longer than 48 hours  before coming back either accepted or rejected. 

    Please see the below TurboTax FAQ for more information:

    I helped a friend to file.  Usually I use my email but their cell phone. This time I used her email and cell.  Could this have caused the Pending after 48 hours.

    Even though the average Pending time is 24-48 hours, some returns take longer, especially if the government has a backlog of returns they're processing.  We suggest checking back in a few days, as their return will eventually move along through the queue.

    It would seem that you would research if this seems to be an exception.

    I was on another post and it seems like anyone who sent it from Feb 12 to now is pending. I'm all kinds of worried now.

    I had to wait for the form to be ready and the 14th was the first day it was ready and I'm wondering if that's what it is.

    Rejection came yesterday.  It had to do with the 1095 A and an interview question. Deep!
