MN State Return - acceptance delay

BartDad — Wed, 17 Feb 2021 19:51:25 GMT

I submitted my 2020 Federal and State (MN) income tax returns on Sun, Feb 14th at 12:13 PM PST (from the email I received.) Less that 10 minutes later, I received notice that the IRS had accepted my return. I have NOT received word that the State of MN has accepted my return.

However, I helped my mother file her return on Mon, Feb 15th (both 2020 Fed and State of MN) and she received email notifications that BOTH her Fed and State (MN) returns have been accepted.

Why has my 2020 State of MN return not been accepted yet?

Only MN can answer that, but it is not unusual for it to take up to a week, especially when tax season first opens. Each person's experience is different.

I do not believe that the response I received is accurate:
1) The State of MN's web site says it has not received my State Return yet
2) A State return filed 24-hours AFTER mine, was accepted within 4 hours
3) TurboTax itself says 24-48 hours; nothing about waiting a week

Given my experience this year coupled with MANY other comments, it seems like Turbo Tax is having another problem is getting tax returns TO various States. I do hope they resolve whatever technical issues they are having VERY quickly.
