NJ Return status Pending even 3 days after filing

Hi,

I e-Filed my Tax returns in Apr/10/2022 evening,  the status of NJ Tax returns still shows as pending (as of Apr/13/2022 8:50 PM).  The status for IRS and NY are Accepted.    The state of NJ already deducted the money (taxes) I owe from my bank account.  Can you  please clarify why the status still shows Pending even after they deduct money from my bank ?

 

Thanks

Unfortunately we do not have access to any tax filing information, but since the payment was processed by New Jersey it is safe to say the have the information so it should be processed in a few days.  If you would like to get help, you can get expert assistance by calling us at 1-800-4-INTUIT (1-800-446-8848). (Note this is obviously a very busy time so you may just want to check online again.)

Was your return finally accepted?  I'm in the same boat.  NJ still pending after 3 day after filing.  IRS was accepted in less than 30 minutes.

Yes, it was accepted by NJ after midnight on the day the money (taxes due) was dedicated from my bank account.

NJ can take up to a week, especially near the filing deadline.

Mine was finally accepted this morning on the 19th.  I filed for an extension last night just to be safe.  I didn't owe any money.

I'm in the same situation.  I filed 4/18/22.  IRS return accepted immediately, but State is still pending.  I do not owe money.  What's up with them?

@wnetmw

 

If you don't owe money then you don't need to file an extension.

If you were fully confident that NJ would eventually accept your return and that they would correctly take your e-filing date as the effective date, you would be right.  But we are in uncharted territory here.  In past years, NJ has accepted returns in 36 hours plus or minus a couple of hours.  This year it is obviously different.  So having no insight as to what the problem is, an extension is a free option.  There are posts on this forum where people have had Turbotax tell them they e-filed but the state has no record of it.  

Also I do owe money in a way in that my refund is supposed to cover my first quarter estimated taxes due on April 18.  I still have no confirmation that my estimated tax payment has been credited or on what date it is to be credited.

"I still have no confirmation that my estimated tax payment has been credited or on what date it is to be credited."

 

Can't happen until your return is ACCEPTED and processed.

Please continue to be patient.  A few years ago, it took NJ 14 days to accept my filing.

Sorry for the confusion.  My return was accepted but after the due date. 

 

I can't imagine waiting 14 days.  I would have gone out of my mind!

Update.  My return was accepted after the due date and today I see that my refund was credited to my estimated taxes as a timely payment. 

 

So now my only task is to get Turbotax to fix the bug which overstates NJ taxable income.

It's ridiculous that Turbotax has no mechanism to report bugs which affect taxable income.

BTW, the bug I found is discussed in the thread

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/bug-reporting/00/2720146 

 

It may affect your NJ taxable income in certain cases. 

As I noted, there seems to be no way to report the bug to Turbotax without paying for live support. 

On principle, I refuse to do that.
