The issue has nothing to do with the IRS processing the tax return. The issue appears to be a software glitch of various kinds (employee stock options and Form 1116 - foreign taxes are two that I have seen mentioned) with TT software that are causing the IRS servers to keep them in pending status for days which is an unusual situation for those of us who like me in 20 years of e-filing have never had my return rejected much less in pending status for more than a few hours. The IRS has previously opened as late as the first week of February for processing returns and my return which was filed 2 weeks early was accepted on the same day.
You either don't understand or are completely mischaracterizing the issue here. Please be considerate of others when responding. Your response was not helpful to those who are wondering after over a week of the IRS accepting returns why theirs is still in limbo with few answers from Turbo Tax or the IRS. All they have to assist them are those of us who finally were able to get our returns rejected and refiled as I did mine after waiting 5 days with no answers.
