Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Good News everyone!

My Colorado State return has moved from "Return Not Received or Not Yet Processed" to "Return Received & Being Processed".  It took 14 days from the time the return showed "Accepted" in TurboTax, which is when Colorado state placed it in their "Return Not Received or Not Yet Processed" BLACK HOLE queue, until it advanced to the "Return Received & Being Processed" stage.  So, hang in there everyone. There is actually light at the end of tunnel! This should help everyone with their expectations on how long it's taking Colorado to start processing returns.

So, in summary:

• My return showed "Accepted" in TurboTax on February 5, 2026. This is when Colorado state placed it in their "Return Not Received or Not Yet Processed" BLACK HOLE queue.
• The return advanced to the "Return Received & Being Processed" stage on February 19, 2026.
• Hence, the 14 day timeframe for Colorado to start processing my return.
