TAXES FILED BUT NOT SEND TO IRS YET

I completed my taxes and filed them but it seems that have not been set to IRS yet. I completed them 2 weeks. Is there a Q in the IRS? I know they started accepting returns on 2.12. Why mine has not been sent yet?

 

Thank you

my issue is that turbotax says two returns have been transmitted some time back but are still pending.  i have filed some since for other family members that have been accepted.  how long before turbo tax will let me know if the other two have been accepted by IRS or are being rejected.   One or the other would be fine.  just don'e like this limbo.

I agree, this is the first time i finished my return and Turbotax has not filled yet or send to IRS. It is almost 2 weeks now and i am wondering why...

Normally, returns are either accepted or immediately rejected by the IRS.  I understand they started processing late but now am concerned that their is a glitch and do not know how to follow up.  Help.  Thank!

I filed on Jan 19.  Mine was actually rejected on 2/10 because I put wrong my AGI from 2019. I Resent it back that same day and it got accepted on the 2/13.

One of mine was filed on 1/31 also. Still pending.  Actually spoke with somebody at TurboTax today and she said nothing t do but WAIT.  Not thrilled with that answer.

I got an email today that my return was rejected because i did not complete the "rsu sale of employee stock form". I never received any employee stock. I reviewed it again no errors and resubmitted. lets see this time.

I got the same rejection cause of "employee stocks", so I removed my cryptocurrency information and resubmitted and it accepted within 10 mins. Did you sell or buy crypto?

I did both sell and buy..I reported them as capital gain/losses same way you report stocks. I did not remove them and I filed again and it was accepted..weird...

it was an employee stock issue but i think i fixed it and have resubmitted.  nothing yet.  fingers crossed that they will now be satisified.   

 

the second one gave me an error message that made no sense whatsoever, referred me to an irs link that did not work.  i am printing that one to file by mail.  we shall see.   thanks all

@kostas8600 you may check your e-file status here

 

You did however post this question to an e-file rejects forum so in the event that your tax return is rejected, the following FAQ provides steps for fixing it: Fixing a rejected return

Now my NY TAX RETURN got rejected due to "NY_Itemized" issue. I had to resubmit. Lets hope this time will accept. I do not know why Turbotax has these problems this year.

That's what I'm trying to figure out myself I filed on 02/03 and still pending like it doesn't take that long to tell someone if they are rejected but atp I'm getting annoyed!!!!!!

It appears that I was finally able to resolve both issues and get them accepted by the IRS but the messages were confusing and didn’t make much sense.  Just had to keep going over certain sections until it finally worked.   Thanks everyone.

How do I know what my issue is if they say I haven't been rejected? I'm literally lost about the whole  situation! @wickham732

@wickham732  What did you have to do to get it accepted?

I made sure the software did all the updates and then i ran a review for errors and had none...then i resubmitted and within 2 hours got accepted by the IRS. I hope that helps...the worst thing is that i cannot connect with anybody at turbotax...worst customer service...

On one I had to go through stock sale/capital gains and answer a few more questions. 

the other one was a weird message about first time homeowner credit repayment which totally did not apply to my sister. However Clicked on help and typed it in the topic search and then “jumped” to that section (where it never took me initially); answered a question saying the credit was never received.  Resubmitted and it has now been accepted by IRS.

Try calling 800-446-8848 however if it has been transmitted and in pending they really could not help me.  Told me I just had to wait but I did speak with a person.

Call 800-446-8848 and they can confirm that it has been transmitted.  If it is pending too long it will probably reject but hopefully turbo tax can help you review/repair and refile.
