How long does it take the state of Maine to accept my return?

[christinamd73]

I filed 2/18 and my Federal return was accepted within an hour. My Maine State return is still showing pending.

Normally less than three weeks!

@christinamd73 It is not unusual (especially at the start of the tax season) for the state return to be pending after the federal has been accepted. The FAQ  below provides further details:
