When you file early and before the IRS starts to accept federal tax returns, your e-filed tax return will be in a Pending state waiting for the IRS to pull the tax return from the server. The IRS will not be accepting tax returns until late January.

MY RETURN IS IN PENDING—what does that mean?

Did you e-file? Did you click that big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?” If so, your return is now in “pending” on a server. Do not try to change anything while your return is in pending. Later in January the IRS will begin to accept/reject e-files. If your return is rejected you will be able to make corrections before re-filing. If the return you e-filed is accepted you will have to wait until it has been fully processed and then amend it to fix your mistake. It has been taking the IRS six to nine months—sometimes longer—to process amended returns.
