So I have had multiple conversations with so called tax experts..And was told by more than one that the irs has possession of my tax forms..But when I contacted the irs they told me they have not recieved or will until the 27th of January. Turbotax experts even went as far to give me a false submission id number. I called to verify this number and was told again that they won't accept or issue any mef numbers until the 27th.. at first these experts just kept telling me to wait 24 hours and promising that the irs has possession of my taxes..I can't help thinking that this is somehow not legal..Any help will be appreciated.

TurboTax allowed you to “e-file” —- but now your return is in pending.

MY RETURN IS IN PENDING—what does that mean?

Did you e-file? Did you click that big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?” If so, your return is now in “pending” on a server. Do not try to change anything while your return is in pending.On January 29 the IRS will begin to accept/reject e-files. Watch your emails—including your spam folder—for the notice about whether your e-file has been accepted or rejected. If your return is rejected you will be able to make corrections before re-filing. If the return you e-filed is accepted you will have to wait until it has been fully processed and then amend it to fix any mistakes or omissions. It has been taking the IRS four to six months—sometimes longer—to process amended returns. If you e-filed your state return there will be another email later that tells you if the state was accepted or rejected.

WARNING: Do not try to change anything on your return while it is pending.

When users ask us here in the user forum about e-filing this early, we suggest waiting. There are no posts in the user forum with your username Confused in michigan, so we did not have the chance to advise against early e-filing. It seems you e-filed and then started looking into when the IRS would start processing your return. Once you e-file, there is no getting the return back. You have to wait until the return is either accepted or rejected.

Early e-files sit on a server ---waiting --- until the IRS opens and begins to process returns at the end of January. They take a few---- a few ----- e-files as a couple of test batches ahead of the end of January, but that is done very randomly and there is no telling whose returns will be in the test batches. Everyone else---whether they used TurboTax, H & R Block, Jackson Hewitt, TaxSlayer, etc.-----everyone else waits for the IRS to open at the end of January. When you e-file, you get back two emails. The first one says your return has been submitted; the second will tell you if the IRS accepted or rejected your return. If you filed a state return there will be a third email telling you if the state accepted or rejected your return. All you can do now is wait and watch your emails for information. Check your spam folder, too.
