Why is my return showing pending?

[vickie3714]

I paid for Turbo Tax to assist me with filing.  My status shows pending. 
 Today is the deadline.   Whydoes it not show accepted?

You filed on time.  "Pending" is a normal and routine stage -- it will be in pending status until the IRS accepts or rejects it.   Watch your emails.

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.
