From speaking to Intuit exec crew, it sounds like there were no reports of issues sending Tax Returns to the IRS. So perhaps the IRS is sitting on their hands or they have some issue(s). What people really needed to know from Intuit is whether the transmission of their return to the IRS was successful before any processing begins. Pending Status could be clarified further - i.e. IRS received return from Intuit, but didn't begin processing. Maybe say, "received by IRS, not processed".
