Log into your Online TurboTax account. At the Tax Home what is the exact term showing for the efile status of the Federal and State returns? It will not say "unknown." Does it say "pending?" If so, that's normal.
For people who filed early, it's normal for it to still be showing as "pending." As I explained above, except for a few test returns that were pulled early, the IRS has not opened return processing until today Monday, January 27. So hopefully you will hear something in the next 24-48 hours if your Federal return has been accepted or rejected, although there may some delay at first due to backlog when the IRS first ramps up.
NOTE: You can't use the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool until 24 hours after your Federal return has been accepted. That IRS tool won't tell you anything until then. So there's no point in trying it until then.
