The IRS accepted a few early returns in "test" batches. There are millions of other e-files waiting on servers for the IRS to begin accepting/rejecting e-files this week. Watch your email for messages of acceptance or rejection.

It is not unusual for your return to stay in pending status for several days sometimes longer depending on the back log of returns filed and time it takes for the IRS to process them. Keep checking the IRS Where’s My Refund? site for updates. The tool is updated daily (usually in the overnight hours) so you don’t need to check more often. Please see the TurboTax FAQ What does "Pending" mean? for additional information.
