Why my return wasn’t accepted yet

It’s been 48 hours since I e-filed and it still hasn’t been accepted yet

Since early January, millions of e-files have been piling up on servers that are backlogged.  The IRS just began to accept/reject e-files this week.  Eventually, yours will make it through the pipeline.  Watch your emails.

When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.
