Why is my taxes say pending

MY RETURN IS IN PENDING—what does that mean?

You will not get any information from the IRS refund site while your return is in pending.  The IRS does not have your return yet.  Your return is still sitting on a server waiting for the IRS to pull it off.

When you e-file your return you will get two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say your return has been transmitted; the second one will tell you the IRS has accepted  or rejected your federal e-file.  If you filed a state return, there will be a third email (usually a day or two later) that tells you if the state e-file was accepted or rejected.

Check your e-file status:
