Why is my taxes still pending after 48 hours

[Milani mom]

recieved anything yet? Have the same troubles. Turbo sent a email saying “Return has been sent” it’s telling me to wait 24-48hrs ?  I claimed my daughter this year. This my 1st time.

I feel you filed single got an email saying rejected went to fix the issue but on turbotax still say pending like it's stuck on pending for a week, yet my mom was accepted immediately. Turbotax about to loose a 20year filer with them.  Is it a glitch?  I even was like maybe if I amend it by changing a digit but can't do that til the 16th

This is an old thread. Pending means your e-filed return is on its way and the government hasn't accepted or rejected it yet. Please see What does pending mean? for more detailed information. 

Once the IRS has accepted your e-filed return, you can check the status of your refund by going directly to https://www.irs.gov/refunds.

Additionally, you can check out this Help Article for instructions on how to track your state refund.

We can see this thread is old! Almost 48 hours and still pending not accepted or rejected. I always file on January 30th for years and I have never had it take this long for my return to be accepted. I am beyond annoyed bcuz it makes no sense.

It's Feb 2023 I filed my taxes 48 hrs ago. Turbo tax says pending. Irs wheres my refund cant even find me. Should i be worried?

Unfortunately, TurboTax has no control over how long the IRS takes to accept a return. After January, e-filed returns generally sit in Pending status for 48 hours hours or longer before coming back as either Accepted or Rejected. Sometimes state returns stay in Pending for several days or even longer.

Continue checking the Where’s My Federal Refund?  tool for updates. Updates are made daily, usually overnight. You may also download the IRS2Go app to check your Federal refund status.
