Likewise, I filed on January 21st and while the IRS didn't start taking returns until Feb 12th it should not still be sitting in pending status on February 17th when others who are currently filing are getting theirs accepted. I have called Turbo Tax and the IRS on numerous occasions since the 12th and all I keep being told is to wait and per the IRS there is nothing they can do until 21 DAYS has elapsed from the 12th. It should not take 21 DAYS to transmit a return to the IRS as that is all an acceptance means is that the IRS server grabbed the data from the tax software preparer server, that the server received all of the data and in the format it expects to receive it. That should not take 21 DAYS....processing the return yes receiving it from a server to server NO! So frustrating and no one seems to think its a problem.
