A pending tax return means that your tax return hasn't been accepted or rejected. When you e-filed on January 23re, the IRS hadn't started accepting tax returns. They started accepting e-filed returns on January 27, 2025. You tax return should be accepted or rejected in the next couple of days.

If it's your state return, that's pending, some states start processing e-filed returns at the same time as the IRS, while some others don't. See the TurboTax article Why is my state e-file still pending?
