After you file

@Tonythetaxman 

 

Always wait to efile until ~ 2 weeks after the IRS starts processing...responses are faster then

During the first week (or 2) that the IRS starts taking files....there are millions waiting, and they take small batches "randomly" from the piled up submissions.....and then "randomly" in small batches from ALL the software providers.

 

As such, the random process may not include yours in those small batches.....thus, some of those filing after you did, are commonly processed first.   A quick response from the IRS is common after the first two weeks that the IRS starts.

 

And state tax returns are not sent to the state until AFTER the IRS actually "Accepts" your e-file.
