After you file

"I understand that the IRS is not allowing the majority of filers to transmit their federal returns until the 27th. However my state return has also been pending since January 14th. Is TurboTax holding both to transmit at the same moment or might there be an issue? I have never seen that occur before. It's never taken more than two days to have my state accepted."

 

That is normal.   A state return cannot be accepted until AFTER the Federal return has been accepted.   Once the Federal return has been accepted, then the state tax agency computers will decide on the state return.

 

If the Federal return is rejected, then the state return also automatically rejects.
