Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I efiled my taxes last Sunday and they're still showing as pending. It's never taken this long for them to get accepted. Should I re send my taxes electronically or wait?

Not until the IRS opens on Jan 27, 2020 and your return is Accepted.  Until then it will stay Pending on Turbo Tax.

IRS opens on Jan 27, 2020 for 2019 returns

But the IRS has pulled some returns early for testing.

You can check your efile status here

When you efile you get back 2 emails. The first email only confirms the transmission. The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile.

Your e-filed return is still in pending on the server because the IRS will not begin to accept/reject/process returns until January 27.  Only a few returns were accepted early in a test batch.  Everyone else has to wait.

So watch your emails and spam folder to make sure you know after Jan. 27 if your return was accepted or rejected.
