After you file

If your tax return is in pending status, that just means that your e-filed return is on its way and that the government has yet to accept or reject it. After January, It is not unusual for e-filed returns to sit in pending status a little bit longer than 48 hours  before coming back either accepted or rejected. 

Please see the below TurboTax FAQ for more information:
