Sorry you have to wait.  The IRS won't start taking returns until Jan 29.  Until then it will just sit at Turbo Tax.  And you can't get it back if you need to change something or get another form to add.

MY RETURN IS IN PENDING—what does that mean?

 

Did you e-file?  Did you click that big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”  If so, your return is now in “pending” on a server.  Do not try to change anything while your return is in pending.On January  27 the IRS will begin to accept/reject e-files.   Watch your emails—including your spam folder—for the notice about whether your e-file has been accepted or rejected.  If your return is rejected you will be able to make corrections before re-filing.   If the return you e-filed is accepted you will have to wait until it has been fully processed and then amend it to fix any mistakes or omissions.  It has been taking the IRS four to six months—sometimes longer—to process amended returns.   If you e-filed your state return there will be another email later that tells you if the state was accepted or rejected.

 

WARNING:   Do not try to change anything on your return while it is pending.
