TurboTax filed my federal and state returns the same day. My federal has been accepted (2/10/21), but there is no information on my state.

It's unpredictable. After a Federal return has been accepted, a state return can take a few hours, or up to a couple of days, or even up to several days before it's accepted/rejected. It is a completely different tax agency from the Federal (IRS), and each state moves at it's own pace. And it's usually bogged down a bit after the IRS first opens up for the season, since a lot of state returns which have been backlogged are then suddenly released to the state tax agencies.

You should get an email when the state return is accepted/rejected, or you can check at anytime by looking at your Tax Home. If it was successfully efiled, the Tax Home should currently show it as "pending" until it is accepted/rejected. So be sure and check your Tax Home to be sure it was successfully efiled.

Thanks for the info. This is the 1st. year state acceptance has taken this long.

I am having the same problem trying to file my Wisconsin Corporate return. TurboTax keeps asking me to go to the online tab and check for updates which I do. When I try to resubmit I get caught in a loop which asks again for me to check for updates. In speaking with TurboTax they were not able to determine what the problem is. The Federal return was accepted with no trouble. Hope this is corrected soon as we are required to e-file that return. Anyone else from Wisconsin having this same issue?
