W2 - HAVE NOT RECEIVED ACCEPTANCE EMAIL FROM THE IRS

[nlworshipteam]

I use TurboTax Business desktop software for my S Corp. I filed my 2025 W2 using the Employer Forms option in TurboTax. I filed the W2 on 1/26/26. To date I have not received the acceptance email from IRS. In the Turbo Tax EMployer Forms website its indicates that the W2 is processing.

I have used TUrboTax for years to file my W2, and never has a delay in processing.

Has anyone experienced delays in filining your W2 in Turbo Tax for 2025?

As it has only been 2 weeks since you filed, this is still within the normal timeframe of processing (2-4 wks). From the Intuit Quick Employer Forms online FAQ: 

I e-filed my form(s), how will I know it was accepted with the IRS or SSA?

After e-filing your W-2 or 1099 form, please monitor your form status in the Forms tab of the corresponding business. The form status will change from "E-File Processing" to either "E-File Accepted" or "E-File Rejected", once the Government Agency processes the form. 

The status change may take up to 2 to 4 weeks. You will also receive a notification by e-mail when the status changes.

For W-2 and 1099-NEC, e-file is due by February 2, 2026 . For 1099-MISC, 1099-INT and 1099-DIV, efile is due by March 31, 2026 .
