Why is my return still pending after 3 days

If your return is Pending, it means your e-filed return is on its way and the government hasn't accepted or rejected it yet. Please see What does pending mean? for more detailed information. 

 

Once the IRS has accepted your e-filed return, you can check the status of your refund by going directly to: https://www.irs.gov/refunds

 

Additionally, you can check out this Help Article for instructions on how to track your state refund.

Why is my return still pending after 3 days

Wow!!! You guys are very attentive. Thank you for reaching out and yes I did get it figured out. It was accepted yesterday. I was freaking out because the last time I used TurboTax many years ago it got really messed up. I finally gave you guys another chance and so far it has worked out great. One of your tax experts Anika really helped me out through the whole process and she was amazing too. Thank you guys for being there to answer questions and not charging me extra for a simple question I really appreciate that.

I would also like to give Anika a good review if that's possible. She was really great when I was freaking out about my return. I thought I was going to owe on my state refund and it turns out I didn't and that was thanks to her. She really went out of her way and was extremely calm and knowledgeable through the entire process. I don't know what I would of done without her.
