e-file delay

It has been 3 business days or 5 full days since the return was e-filed. Is there an issue with the e-file transmission?

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. If your return is rejected you will be able to make corrections before re-filing.

The IRS will not be accepting/rejecting 2020 returns until Friday, February 12, 2021. You need to watch your emails for the acceptance/rejection notice that may take until mid-February or later to arrive. And watch your spam folder too.

When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first one will say that your return was submitted. The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected. If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.

A state return cannot be accepted until the federal return has been accepted.

You will have to wait for the IRS to start accepting or rejecting 2020 tax returns on February 12, 2021

Thank you. I wasn't aware there was a date for start of 2020 returns. . I don't recall having this issue last year.
