I filed my taxes on 01/20/2019, Federal and Alabama State, why is my state still pending?

I filed my federal and Alabama state 01/20/2019, Federal was excepted but State says pending. What do I need to do?

Some states start processing e-filed returns at the same time as the IRS, while others don't start processing until sometime later.

It's not unusual for state returns to remain in pending status several days after the federal return has already been accepted. This is especially common when e-filing first opens in January or early February.

Sit tight and your state return will – eventually – move along in the queue.
