No Acknowledgement from either Fed or State

I submitted my tax packages on 2/21 to both fed and state (WI). As of this moment I have not received "file accepted" from either entity. Why? In all of my years using TT I have received acceptance in hours, not days.

DID YOU E-FILE?

Did you e-file? Did you go through all three steps of the FILE section and click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”

When you e-file your return you will get two emails from TurboTax. The first one will say your return has been transmitted; the second one will tell you the IRS has accepted or rejected your federal e-file. If you filed a state return, there will be a third email (usually a day or two later) that tells you if the state e-file was accepted or rejected.

Check your e-file status:

What does it say in your account? Does it show that the return was accepted? Or does it say something else---like "rejected," "printed," or "ready to mail?”

Yes, I e-filed both Fed and State. Status within TT Desktop indicates "Pending" for both returns.

This has "magically" been resolved for both fed/state returns within hours of me publishing this question. I would "assume" that TT staff had to push the file from the TT servers. ????
