Get your taxes done using TurboTax

When your tax return status is pending it means it's on the way to the IRS, it'll stay in Pending status until the IRS starts processing the backlog of returns. Also, Jan 27th was the first day the IRS officially opened the 2020 tax filing and began to accept and process federal tax returns for the tax year 2019. Please see What does "Pending" mean? for additional information.
