You completely missed my point. I already understood that Colorado delayed processing returns until 2/12/2024. My point is that I filed at one of the very earliest opportunities to do so, and my return is still languishing in the system, so it is essentially impossible that a FIFO system is being employed. I have lived in Colorado for almost 30 years, and used TurboTax to file my state returns for almost every single one of those years, and I have NEVER had to wait this long for my return to even be accepted. In fact, when I have filed my returns in the past, my experience has almost always been that it is at the very least accepted within an hour or two after it is electronically transmitted. I have no way of knowing whether or not TurboTax has actually even attempted to transmit my return, and I seriously doubt that Colorado would require 5 days to catch up on returns that were filed by February 2nd. Something fishy is going on, and I don't know who is responsible.
