Pending Status Question

Hello, 

 

Taxes this year have caused me a lot of stress!

 

I had to file the following returns this year for 2021:

1) Federal Return

2) PA Resident

3) NY Resident 

(Two resident state returns due to work & living situations - claimed taxes paid in NY as a credit to PA taxes due.) 

 

My main question is - right now, all three return statuses are pending. TurboTax specialist doesn't see an issue on their end, so I am wondering why the delay. I do know that often state e-files are held up until Federal e-file goes through, so that doesn't worry me.

 

However, my federal return was fairly simple. Only thing I can really determine that could be holding it up is:

1) Last year I filed a zero AGI return by mail (was unemployed in 2020.) This return is still "processing" since it was a mail-in with $0 income. 

2) This year, I only had two forms of "income" -- First was W-2 income. Second was about $500 of cancelled debt (no 1099-C since under $600.) I added this amount to my taxable income total. 

 

I am thinking one of these two things could be holding it up. Does anyone have a similar experience?

 

Thanks!
