E-filing is now closed for returns except for a 2018 return that was filed timely before midnight on October 15, 2019, and rejected.  If you tried to e-file before that deadline and were rejected you have until October 20 to try e-filing again.  Otherwise, you now have to print, sign and mail your return.

 

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS and/or your state received the return.

Hi

 

I have efiled state return on 14th using TurboTax desktop software but the status still shows pending (not rejected).

 

Please advise what to do.

 

Thanks,

Murali.

There is nothing to do but wait for the email that tells you if it has been accepted or rejected.  A lot of people filed at the same time because the deadline was October 15, so the systems may be overwhelmed.  Try the e-file status lookup tool:
