My tax return status has been pending for 3 days now. I have always got an acceptance within hours. Is anyone else experiencing this with turbo tax and do you if I’m allowed to use another software program since it’s just holding and not doing anything.
I thought it was just mine doing that or I messed something up filing.
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.

My my 2021 taxes keep being rejected over and over and over and they keep on trying to refile it and I want to just erase it and do it over they won't let me oh well wow I don't know what's going on
The email should say why it's rejecting. Why? Is it for the AGI? Try entering 0 for the AGI. Or was your ssn used on another return? If you can't get it accepted you will have to print and mail it yourself to the IRS.
How to mail a return from the Online version
Be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them. You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places. Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.

I have submitted my return three times. The first two times, it was rejected for AGI. After being rejected the first time for putting in a changed AGI, I changed it to the original amount. It was rejected again for my husbands AGI being “$0”, TurboTax wouldn’t even let me enter an amount for his AGI the 1st or 2nd time submitting. So the 3rd time, I triple checked everything and submitted. I noticed the first two submits were taking a long time to be reviewed. After looking at times of the emails for 1st and 2nd submits, they took exactly 72 hours and 35 minutes to get a response on if they were accepted or rejected. After submitting a 3rd time and not receiving a response for 2hours, I’m assuming it’ll take 72 hours and 35 minutes again. I have never had to wait so long for a response and it looks like I’m not the only one. QUIT HOLDING OUR RETURNS FOR NO REASON
Wow. Ours has still not said anything. It’s been since the 26th. Said expected to b accepted on the 28th…. Been doing taxes here for years without a problem. Idk if it’s cuz we taking a child EIC?…. Uhh. Never been like this!
I am the custodial parent of my 7month old and his mom claimed him. I did not give her written permission. What now?
All you can do is paper file the return and let the IRS sort it out. Print, ink sign and mail it in... in the FILE tab choose the mail in option so the correct forms & instructions will be populated in the PDF.
OH BOY. There was a HUGE mess last year with this issue. I told myself I'd wait to file mid-late February or even March but here I am trying to submit it tonight. I may wait for another few weeks.
And to add it was a turbo tax issue with the forms, there was some updates rolled out later which is why I told myself I'd wait to e-file. I was in a group of first filers (Early filers) and the forms weren't updated for us so were stuck in pending status forever. We got many MANY canned responses from turbo tax saying just wait give it time but many of us knew there was some issues on turbo tax side of things. Turns out it was a software issue on one of their forms, we finally got an update to apply and then magically it worked and all our returns were accepted.
Damnit I may just wait until March to file then.
I took in my two grandchildren because there parents caught COVID 19 and need to get back on there feet I have them till the end of the year but I verification with the mother and fixed the process now I have to pay to e-file
Do you have a question we can help you with?
It's happening to me too - I filed this past Sunday 1/30/22 and mine are still pending!
I do, I would like some help with why my return is still pending. I got a security email saying last year I filed with another email address and was given a phone number to call but it also said it would automatically forward and file after 48 hours if I didn't call. I called and confirmed it was me that filed under the new email address and so I'm trying to figure out why it still hasn't moved forward.
Please see What does "Pending" mean? for information as to why your return is still pending.

My state refund on The WMR is stating not processed and I filled on the 24th, but Turbo Tax says accepted. Very confusing which is correct
Once the return is accepted FOR processing how long the state or feds will take to actually process the return is up to them. When your return will be reflected on their online systems is also on the them. The last info TT ever gets is that it was accepted ... after that you must look to the taxing authority for more information.
Having the same problem with my Utah return. It has been rejected 3 times. Every time it is rejected Turbo Tax says they have fixed the return?
It keeps being rejected. I have checked AGI and it is correct.

Try entering a 0 (zero) for the 2020 AGI and e-file again.
It’s been over 3 days & my return is still in pending status. I’ve convinced that this is a turbo system issue
