After you file

When you check the efile status at your Tax Home page, does it show as "pending?"

 

The IRS will start processing returns for most people sometime on Monday, January 27 (except for a few test returns that they pulled early.)     There's always a backlog when they first ramp up each year so you may not know anything for 24-48 hours or longer.   There's no way to know yet how smoothly that will go.   They pull returns from TurboTax in batches and in no particular order as far as I know.

 

You can keep monitoring the efile status at your Tax Home page.  You should also get an email when it's accepted or rejected.
