Why is my return still pending?

[vetsin]

@GabiU , does this mean I can still make changes to my filing if it's still pending? I found out I made a mistake on my 1095-A a few minutes after filing. Can we pull it out? Thanks!

[Kkunze21]

Yeah but it says accepted both state and federal just forgot to add a couple documents w2 and school documents?

[amasiker]

Where do you see pending? I Can't even see my return on the IRS website after weeks!!

I haven't filed my Fed or NYS returns yet, and after reading through this thread I'm tempted to hold off even though I have refunds coming from both. Most of the posts appear to be from people who've submitted returns in early-mid Feb. Does anyone know if the problem has been fixed for new submissions made as of now? Also, does anyone know if this problem is limited to the online or desktop version of TT?

Thanks for any info.

I mistyped a ncorrect agi from 2019 on my 2020 taxes however my E-file got accepted. Should I take any measures to remedy this,?

If your federal tax return was accepted by the IRS then do not worry about the 2019 AGI that was entered.

Thank you for replying so soon!  Of on the posts that I have been been reading it says that if you entered an incorrect AGI from the previous year then your e-file will get rejected but it was not the case for me. I was wondering why that was and should I be worried

Since the IRS accepted your federal tax return then the 2019 AGI you entered was correct according to the IRS database for your name and Social Security number.

Well that is so strange because the AGI that I entered  is listed on a turbo taxes website under view my AGI is 1450 more than what is listed on the IRS website. Is this an error on the TurboTax website?

Have you received an official indication that the IRS accepted your efiled return?   Was it an email?  The first email will only say the return was successfully transmitted.  A second email comes later saying if it was accepted or rejected.

EDITED:  The following info assumes you used Online TurboTax for your 2020 return (you didn't say).  If you used desktop software,  the following method won't apply, but you can check the efile status inside the software , not on the TurboTax website.

If you prepared your 2020 return in Online TurboTax, log into TurboTax, go to the Tax Home (it may already open there).   Confirm there that it shows there that your 2020 efiled return was indeed accepted.  Which of these terms does it show for the status there:   pending, accepted, rejected, printed, or something else?

For the 2019 AGI look at the 2019 PDF, specifically on the 2019 Form 1040, Line 8b.    Does that match what you found at the IRS website on your 2019 tax return transcript?

If your 2020 Federal return has been accepted, AND if you are due a Federal refund, use this IRS WMR tool to see if it's showing up in the tool yet at the IRS:

https://www.irs.gov/Refunds

Here are some tips when using the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool:

• Be sure you have waited at least 24 hours after acceptance before using the IRS WMR tool.
• Be sure you enter the correct SSN and filing status.
• Be sure you are using only the Federal refund amount.   Do not include any state refund or any total refund or net refund (Fed and State) that TurboTax may have provided on a screen.  
• Also be sure you are using the Federal amount before any TurboTax fees are taken out (if you chose that option.)
• Look at your actual 2020 Federal return to get the Federal refund amount, i.e., your Form 1040, Line 35a.

• You can also try phoning the IRS refund hotline.  I've seen it work for some users when the WMR tool didn't.  800-829-1954

Mine is still pending. Been waiting since January 27. Accepted on 2/11

[prisr123]

I have not received an acceptance email. I filed 2/13 and it is still pending.

[AngelMontoya00]

I filed my return on 1/9, my federal was accepted on 2/9, 3 days before the IRS opened for the tax season. And I haven't received an email from Turbo tax saying anything is wrong with my file and after talking to an agent from the IRS my return hasn't been flagged or anything. So I don't understand what the hold up could be?

I filed 1/14/21 & was accepted 2/10/21. I have been on one bar until this morning. I just checked WMR & it's saying that my refund is still being processed & a deposit date will be provided when available. What does this mean?
