My state return is still saying pending too since I filed back on Feb 12th. My federal was accepted on Feb 13th. I went to Virginia Check my refund and it shows they don't have my state return and that I need to contact Turbo tax. I see I am not the only one having this issue. What's going on Turbo Tax with State returns????????? You obv has messed something up.

This is normal. Some states start processing e-filed returns at the same time as the IRS, while others don't start processing until sometime later.

Actually no the fact is Turbo tax had a software glitch I have emails and screenshots to prove it. I spoke with VA and they told me if it was sent on Feb 12th they would see it even if they had not accepted it but this wasn't the case. That night my state was rejected because TURBO TAX HAD A SOFTWARE ISSUE and I had to go back in and re submit my taxes. Turbo tax needs to own up to the issue they had instead of hiding behind excuses.
