In the automated system, it asks me to identify myself, and when I did, the system told me that they have not received my 2020 return.  So, again, TO TURBOTAX -  What's going on?  Can you tell all us Californians why our returns have not yet been sent to California please ???  We're really getting nervous...


TurboTax does not send tax returns to the IRS or a state. Tax returns are pulled from the TurboTax servers by the IRS and States.

 

If your California tax return is Pending then it is waiting for the state to pull the state tax return from the TurboTax servers.

 

The IRS has begun pulling federal tax returns in batches from the TurboTax servers since the IRS officially opened on 02/12/2021.

Other states have begun pulling their state tax returns from the TurboTax servers after the IRS has accepted the federal tax return for the same taxpayer.
