After you file
You efiled early, so it's normal to still say "pending", since the IRS has not been open for routine processing. The IRS opens up this season's processing today on Monday, January 27. Any returns efiled before then are waiting to be accepted/rejected, except for a few returns pulled early for processing. So hopefully, you will hear something in the next 24-48 hours about your Federal return, but there can be delays when the IRS ramps up each year, so we don't know how smoothly that will go when they start.
There is one thing I'm curious about, however. If you efiled the Federal return separately first, normally it shouldn't have let you efile the state return by itself until after the Federal return has been accepted. So if you efiled the Federal return on 1/17, and if it's still showing as "pending", I'm not sure how you were able to efile the state return on 1/23. Verify the efile status of both this way:
Log back into your TurboTax Online account and at the Tax Home, look at the specific status of both the Federal and state returns. Does it indeed say "pending" for both of them? Or does either one say something different than that?
