As @xmasbaby0 stated, you will need to wait until your return is accepted or rejected to take any action. If your return is rejected, you will be notified and will receive a rejection code with further instructions. See here for a list of rejection codes with links to their descriptions.
To check your IRS e-file status, sign in to TurboTax, and go to Tax Home (if you're not already there). If you've submitted your return, you'll see a pending, rejected, or accepted status.
If you used TurboTax Desktop, follow these steps to check your e-file status:
- Open the File menu.
- Select Check E-file status.
- Or, go to the File tab and select the Check E-file Status header.
See this TurboTax help article and this IRS webpage for more information.
Some tax returns take longer to process than others for many reasons, including when a return:
- Is sent by mail
- Contains errors or is incomplete
- Needs further review in general
- Is affected by identity theft or fraud
- Was referred to the IRS by the bank due to suspicious activity
- Includes a claim filed for an Earned Income Tax Credit or an Additional Child Tax Credit. See Q&A below.
- Includes a Form 8379, Injured Spouse AllocationPDF, which could take up to 14 weeks to process
For the latest information on IRS processing timeframes, see their Processing Status Dashboard.
