OK. I just recieved an email saying my Federal return was accepted. I entered $0 for myself and $0 for my spouse. Making progress. I don't understand the "why" of it or if there is any logic at all. I'm just told it was accepted. However, there is no feedback on the status of my state return........
Great news! I'm glad my suggestion to use that method for both of you was of benefit. As I said previously, that sometimes happens for unexplained reasons, but most commonly because a delay past November 2021 in processing the 2020 return.
The state acceptance/rejection always lags behind. The state's tax agency has to receive word of the Federal's acceptance first. It may be a few hours or even longer. Some states may be faster than others.
