IRS has not acknowledged received my 2024 Federal tax forms....submitted by Turbo Tax. How long does it usually take?

Did you e-file?  Did you click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”

When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here?

  Or does your account say “Ready to Mail?” Or “Rejected?” Or “Printed?”

The IRS usually accepts or rejects tax returns within 48 to 72 hours. When your return is in the pending status,  your personal information is being checked o make sure it matches their records.

Once your tax return has been e-filed, and accepted, TurboTax doesn't have any other information about your refund. If you are referring to your federal refund, you can check your federal refund status here.
