I'm in the same boat. I submitted a couple weeks ago. Still shows "pending" in the software and no email yet on the status either.
You could have filed in early January and the only thing that would have happened is your tax return sitting on the TurboTax servers waiting to be pulled by the IRS on and after the official start date of 02/12/2021.
Your tax returns will remain Pending until the IRS starts pulling tax returns from the TurboTax servers. It may be several days or longer after the IRS start date before your tax return gets accepted or rejected.
The IRS has to pull millions and millions of tax returns from servers throughout the country after the official IRS start date of 02/12/2021.
After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.
