Why are returns accepted

[WhatTheHeckisgoingn]

Why has my return not been processed yet, was submitted on 01.31.25 and it still is not accepted or rejected by the IRS at all. I called the IRS and they have NO RECORD of it being accepted from turbo tax or ME

I have never had this issue before.

Did you e-file?  Did you click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”

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.

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here?  

https://www.irs.gov/refunds         

  Or does your account say “Ready to Mail?” Or “Rejected?” Or “Printed?”
