What should I do if my return has been pending for over 48 hours?

Ronnieg1977 please let me know if you find a solution. I'm on hold on my 3rd phone call. I will never use this product again. It's one thing if there's a glitch, that can happen. It is another thing to spend hours and hours on the phone and online and get no help. I will be disputing their charge on my credit card if they can't resolve it soon.

I'm not asking about my refund. Nowhere in my post did I mention a refund. I can't get to the stage where my return is either accepted or rejected. It is stuck in pending.

Your return will stay in Pending status until the IRS finishes processing the backlog of returns.

After January, e-filed returns generally sit in Pending status for 24–48 hours before coming back as either Accepted or Rejected. Sometimes returns stay in Pending for several days or even longer.

Mine was finally accepted, they do not process on the weekends. I filed Friday night around 9pm.

Is your return still pending? I filed on Monday and my tax turn is still pending 

[Robertdouglasjr90]

hey what did you do you get it fixed? Because my return is still pending after 48 hours

The IRS will be catching up on tax returns and you should see yours moving out of pending soon. Some things that delay the process is if you have any refund offsets. 

Please refer to the following help article for the details on your pending status.

Here's more information about an accepted return.   

What does accepted mean?  

[Robertdouglasjr90]

I don’t have any offsets! It hasn’t got accepted or rejected yet it’s like i never efiled 

[AkinaLO]

If it says pending then it means it has been submitted. You can also verify your e-file status by using the e-file lookup tool.

Please refer to the following help article below.

How do we know our return has actually been transmitted? We’ve never not had one be accepted the same day? It’s been 4 days and no change, still pending! I know what pending means but clearly someone needs to check on our return. There is nothing special, it is a very standard return. Any specialist have ideas to actually help figure out the problem?

[cwak213]

this is ridiculous

My returns are still pending since Tuesday night. Come on why is it so difficult to get a straight up answer from turbo tax on how to resolve this issue!

If you have any investments with 1099's, that could be one issue that they only fixed today. My return got rejected a few times but went thru today after I refiled. In my case, it was 72 hours before each rejection. Once the system was fixed, they went through within a few hours.
