pending since 1/28-anyone else try filing through somoene else?

I filed my taxes on 1/28 have been pending since then. I've been doing my own taxes for years and have not had any issues. This is the first time I've used Turbo Tax in 4 years. The last time I used them was in 2021. I'm tired of waiting. The IRS doesn't show any record of receipt. TT reps have been no help. They just keep saying to wait because it's the first week of acceptance, but it seems I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. 

 

Has anyone in "pending" tried another tax service to see if you've been accepted?

There could be a couple of reasons why you might be experiencing a delay:

1. First, the status might be pending for security reasons. This may be a sign that someone is trying to use your identity to file a tax return.  This can take up to 72 hours, after which your return will then be forwarded to the IRS, or if applicable, rejected. If rejected, you can then correct the rejection issue and resubmit. Please see this FAQ for reference.

2. Secondly, there could be a delay if your return has various refundable credits, such as the Earned Income Credit, Investment Credit, Energy Credits, or Business Credits. You may need to wait a few more days and check your filing status again. Please see this FAQ for additional information.

Note: Both instances may be applicable. That is, you could have a hold for security reasons first. And additionally, for verification of the refundable credits in your return. In this case, delays might extend beyond 72 hours.
