Why has my return not been processed yet, it has been almost 72 hours and it still is not accepted or rejected by the irs at all. I have never had this issue before.

The answer is simple...TT has not sent thousands of efiles to the irs. All of our returns have a note on them stating "waiting to send to tax agency at the appropriate time". Every "tax expert" I have spoken to has either flat out lied and said the return was sent and the irs is "backed up" or have no idea what is happening but at least acknowledges that the return was never sent.  I'm now a full 7 days since I filed my return and have remained in a pending status since then. I've contacted the IRS twice and both times they confirmed that there is no record of a return being sent to them. It seems TT is the only one that is having this issue and they seem to be lying to us in order to give themselves time before we all start to look into legal action against them for mishandling our returns. I've been using TT for 8 years and I have never experienced this and the fact they want to continue to lie to us and gaslight us into believing something that is 100% false is sickening. They need to send our taxes immediately!!!

I filed on 1/24 and am still stuck on pending on 1/31.  I’m normally accepted within hours.

[AJayWalks]

Same, I’m so frustrated.

So I'm not the only one thats experiencing this I see.. these folks are lying they butt off.. never had this problem before in my life... scared to file with another service because it may offset it if I do decide to do it and TT ends up sending it.. I'm highly pissed

Same. Filed on 1/24 and both federal and state still say pending. Neither of them have ever taken this long in all the years filing.

When you filed with Tax Slayer do you know if there will be any issue when Turbo tax then submits your return?

I filed on 1/29 and mine is still pending. Every time I have used TT my return is accepted within minutes. What do I do now?

[Adamthedude]

It seems I am in the same situation. I completed and submitted my federal return prior to the 1/27 opening day assuming it would be sent when the IRS started accepting returns. It seems that a large number of returns got digitally “buried on someone’s desk” and not sent when they should have been.

[Jnazzaro]

I agree! I filed early and tt says accepted and the irs tracking shows nothing at all.

[JDHapps]

mine is also not showing as accepted or rejected. It's just hanging out in turbotax land doing nothing. 

For a service I have paid several thousands of dollars over the more than decade I have used, this is garbage. 

The answers given here by "tax peofessionals" are canned messages that are useless. 

Turbotax needs to submit my returns or release their hold on them so I can go elsewhere. This will be the last year I use this service. It's an absolute money grabbing scam. 

[murph3838]

Just got this email. No explanations, just this...they are really messing with us now.

[PII Removed]

[JDHapps]

They removed the email, i think 

[Handsomeking2021]

What does that even mean? They ain't helping whatsoever at this point.. never had this problem at all.. I'm never using turbo tax ever again.
