Talked TT rep today - the session went on for more than an hour - finally i understood that there is issue with TT s/ware that causes the return to show "pending" and may be a mismatch with the IRS s/ware expectation - the reason for rejections. It looks like they are working on it but no timeframe was mentioned.
