State tax filing

The IRS will not be officially accepting tax returns until 1/27/2020. Since you submitted your return early, TurboTax securely holds it in a "pending" state until the IRS begins accepting returns. Your state return cannot be accepted until your federal return is accepted.

 

Please wait at least 24-48 hours after 1/27/2020 to check on the status of your federal return and wait at least 48-72 hours after 1/27/2020 to check the status of your state return. Since it may be busy when the IRS first opens, it may take even longer. 

 

In the meantime, you can check to make sure both your federal and state returns were submitted. When you log into TurboTax it will show the status of your returns. You can also scroll down and click on "My Account" to get more information.
