Refund Status

We filed our return on 2/5 and it was accepted on 2/12.  I keep checking IRS.gov but all it says is it's "pending".  Why would it take so long?  Does it mean something is wrong?

Pending simply means that your e-filed return is on its way and that the government hasn't accepted or rejected it yet.  Unfortunately, the IRS is taking a bit longer than usual so you are not alone but no need to worry.  See What does "Pending" mean?
