Why is my taxes still unknown?

Is this a scam?

Are you referring to the IRS Where's My Refund? site? 

The government may not have any record of your pending return yet,  Believe it or not, this is normal.

"Pending" simply means that your e-filed return is on its way and that the government hasn't accepted or rejected it yet. Until they accept or reject it, they won't have any record of it.

Once you've been accepted, wait at least 24 hours before you use the IRS Where's My Refund? site.  If you jump the gun, you may be told?—incorrectly?—that you never filed.

Please see the TurboTax Help topics below for additional information:

Why is there no record of my return at Where's My Refund (WMR)?

How do I know if the government received my return?

Keep in mind:

• E-filing status is what stage of the process your return is in. How do I check my e-file status?
• Refund status is when you can expect you refund. If that’s what you’re interested in, go to Where's My Refund?
