NYS taxes

Hello I have  question. I filed 1/18. Federal was accepted 1/21. NYS received my efile on 1/22 and it still says pending. Why is it still pending after 24 hours.

 

Thank you

Because NYS has not started accepting tax returns yet.  This is normal; check back next week.   Technically, the IRS has not officially started either.  However, they do take test groups early and yours was apparently one of the tests.  😉

Hello I still have a question. NYS received my filing but is says pending after 24 hours.  Is it a mistake that NYS received my filing?

Pending simply means that your e-filed return is on its way and that the government hasn't accepted or rejected it yet.

Hello I am confused because it says that NYS received my filing so they should have my efile. I don't understand why it still says pending after 24 hours of receiving my efile.

So if you e-filed a NYS tax return and it shows as Pending then they have yet to receive the tax return.  Once received it will either be accepted or rejected.  You will receive an email from TurboTax when this occurs.

Did you receive an email from TurboTax that the state tax return was received at 4pm yesterday?

If you did not receive an email from TurboTax then how do you know it was ever received?

 

After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.

That just means that New York received the tax return and they have yet to either accept or reject the tax return, therefor the Pending.
