UPDATE: My Federal Return had been "pending" since Feb. 12 with no further email from Turbotax. This afternoon I finally got an email saying my return was "Rejected". (Note it did not say whether it was rejected by TurboTax or the IRS). I logged in and followed the instructions to go back to a certain credit and answer all the questions related to that credit again. Lo and behold this time TurboTax asked me to answer a question it had not asked me to answer the first time. And of course before submitting on the 12th, I had run "review" and was assured by the software that everything was ready to file. So this time I completed the extra question and resubmitted. In less than 30 minutes, my return was "Accepted by the IRS" , which historically is how long it has taken in my experience. All of this confirms what I suspected all along, namely that there was an error in one of the forms in the TurboTax software on the 12th that has now been corrected.
