Pending??

Submitted returns 3 days ago and TurboTax says they have been transmitted, but still pending and IRS says they never received them.

There could be a couple or reasons why you might be experiencing a delay;

1. First, the status might be pending for security reasons. This may be a sign that someone is trying to use your identity to file a tax return. The return has been placed on hold to give you an opportunity to cancel it if it doesn't belong to you. This can take up to 72 hours, after which your return will then be forwarded to the IRS, or if applicable, rejected. If rejected, you can then correct the rejection issue and resubmit. Please see this FAQ for reference.

2. Secondly, there could be a delay if your return has various refundable credits, such as the Earned Income Credit.

Note: Both instances may be applicable. That is, you could have a hold for security reasons first. And additionally for verification of the refundable credits in your return. In this case, delays might extend beyond 72 hours.

wrong.

What you said is very uncommon.

Chances that is deleyed because of security reasons are 0.

Many people are waiting for Tax to be accepted .

Turbotax is still saying pending for many users, even after 3 days.

We just hope its not Turbotax issue

Millions of e-files have been backlogged on servers for weeks. This week the IRS began to accept/reject e-files. When yours makes it through that pipeline, you will get an email.

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.

Thousands of people are sitting with the same issue. It is a TurboTax only problem. There is a problem with their website/software and the tax returns are not actually being transmitted. I've spoke to four different reps and today's rep states that there is no idea when the returns will actually be sent to the IRS, so one can only hope and pray that it gets sent soon.
