Why hasn't my tax return been accepted by the IRS or the state of Illinois when I file two days ago?

Every time I usually file it's been accepted within 24 hours but this year it's different it hasn't been accepted yet.

The pending status means that your federal and state returns haven't been accepted or rejected yet. 

 

For more information, refer to the TurboTax help article What does Pending mean? and  Why's my state e-file still pending?

 

You can also visit your state’s Department of Revenue to find out when your state starts processing e-filed returns.  Please review the TurboTax article How do I contact my state's Department of Revenue? for more information.
