A story from a FRUSTRATED  turbo tax filer. 

On the 7th of Feb I e-filed, understanding the 12th would be when the fed. would start to accept the forms.

A week or so after the 12th still nothing. On the 21 of Feb. I was informed my pending status changed to rejected. I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box but I believe that exceeds 48 hrs. Any who, Turbo suggested that the snafu was my 1116 form. I  went over the form and resubmitted. In less then two hours the Fed. and about 1hr after that my state was accepted. The crazy thing was after I reworked my 1116 I checked it against what I previously submitted. The same.  But this time it went through. 

Tim's take away

Eventually your submission will be rejected and you can resubmit.

I think the Screw Up is with turbo,Not the Fed. and no they aint a gonna fess-up

Take a deep breath I think turbo's working on fixing things.

It's frustrating not being able to get an answer from turbo but from searching on the community site I could see many others were having the same problem and that gave me some hope the problem would be resolved sooner then later.

I got the email from Turbotax a few days ago that my California return was rejected (meaning, Turbotax rejected it NOT the State because Turbotax had never sent it to the state) .   Once I got into my desktop version of Turbotax and opened up my return, I followed the instructions and, thank God, was able to resubmit my California return and California accepted it about an hour later.

For those of you still suffering, try emailing the executives as well as the Office of the President of Intuit.  This is the only way to get help it appears.  May God help you through this.  I sympathize with you all.

Finally received notice that my ME state tax return was accepted. This took way too long but I'm happy it resolved.

What did you do to resolve the issue

[Stuart]

I opened my return, checked for updates, and updated the software.  I did not enter any new information, and the state and federal refunds remained the same.  I went to the "File" section, and refiled my state return.  It was accepted in 15 minutes.

I filed on the 11th still says pending for Fed and state.?? And Havent gotten a email saying rejected.. Iam in IDAHO

[cnaranjo2428]

I filed on 1/21/21 without knowing refunds weren’t being accepted until 2/12. Turbo tax efile information says IRS received my return 2/10/21 but it still says pending and I never received an email that they accepted or rejected my return it’s now been over a week and the status remains the same PENDING. And the IRS website says nothing no information matches.

This seems to be an newly discovered issue this year. Don't worry, its a software issue. Your return will be subsequently rejected; just complete the deduction and credit section again and resent it. This should do the trick.
