It can take several days before your return is "accepted" by the IRS. For more information, visit: https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions

this link does not give ANY information why the transmission would not go through. that link only says what happens once it's received, which everyone is asking WHY it hasn't been sent to the irs yet.

IRS employee.

Well I know of at least 10 people that has filed and not one of them waited longer than 2 hours I was told that they are sitting at turbotax waiting to be transmitted to them because they were so overwhelmed by the advance etc and tbh that is the only people that I know that has had to wait it's really maddening I won't be using this again

@AshleyLO I don't understand why because I don't know one person who hasn't been accepted within the first couple hours it's been days etc for some of us. I was told that you don't transmit them asap which is very maddening for some of us so can you please transmit our returns asap please jeez

Unfortunately, after January it can take longer than 48 hours for the IRS to accept returns until they get caught up on backlogs. Once they accept, you will receive a email from TurboTax and will be able to start tracking your refund status on the IRS Where's My Refund? site.

I highly suggest a different company this is the worst program I have ever used. I filed Wednesday they didn't submit my taxes until today and they were rejected because I didn't know that I needed my exhusband agi from last year but because of all this and them not submitting it until today I wasn't able to get the refund advance if it would of been sent that day I still would of been a couple days early and still qualified. I don't know one person that it took longer than a couple hours to be accepted. @Turbotax it's ridiculous that you done this. I needed that money and instead of honoring what you advertised you do this and to top it off I couldn't even contact you without paying for the deluxe edition RIDICULOUS!!!!! THEY NEED TO AUDIT YOU FOR THIS BULL BECAUSE IT'S NOT RIGHT TO NOT EVEN LET US CONTACT YOU WITHOUT PAYING 1WORST PROGRAM TO USE!!!!

@gmorse @IRS I THINK THAT THEY SHOULD BE AUDITED FOR THIS AND YOU CAN'T CONTACT THEM IF YOU HAVE THE FREE VERSION!!!!

@DONNAK you can ask a question I did figure that much out. Go to contact us, and it has you type in a question. Type in why wasn't my return transmitted and it says it can't find any answer or doesn't have one, sonyou type in your name number and email. The next screen give you a phone number and almost like a confirmation number.

When checking on the status of your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund (WMR) site, you may get the message: We cannot provide any information about your refund. You must wait at least 24 hours after you get the acknowledgment e-mail that your tax return was received by the IRS.

You might receive this message because:
Your e-filed return was accepted (received) by the IRS less than 24 hours ago. Wait at least 24 hours after acceptance before using WMR.
Your return is still pending.
You never e-filed. You can quickly find out if you did by checking your status.
If you don't see a status, go through the TurboTax File section again. Be sure to go all the way to the end and select Transmit my returns now.
You mailed your return less than 4 weeks ago. Paper-filers should wait four weeks before using WMR.

Please click Why is there no record of my return at Where's My Refund (WMR)? to learn more.

@Jeffyerbic I would call. If it's not in where's my refund within 24 hours of acceptance, they should be able to provide you with something. Maybe you were missing a form or schedule and you're in error resolution.
