First the fees were for the use of the program to complete a federal and state return that can be filed even if you must eventually mail the returns in ... successful efiling is not guaranteed nor is there an extra fee to do so with the online program.
Now as to the pending ... although it is unusual for the returns to stay in a pending status for longer than 48 hours but it can happen. Log in and check the efile status again. https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/internal-revenue-service/find-status-ret...
After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.
Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund. Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.
To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product.
