Question

Why is my federal return still in PENDING status? I called yesterday and spoke to a turbo tax "expert", supposedly hadn't been transmitted yet. What is the hold up.

It's been well over 48 hours. There's a ton of people sitting in the same boat. Not just me. Is TT having an issue and not being forthcoming?

    Im dealing with the same issue

    February 4, 2025

    I submitted mine on Jan 30th and it’s still not showing if it’s accepted or rejected

    My state got accepted last night. 3 days later

    Exactly! I don’t even have a EV credit!!! State is still pending and I called them they have no record of my return! I usually get my state back in four days. My federal is stuck as well. Seems to be a tt issue. I will never use them again. I am usually accepted within 30 mins this is unacceptable. Seems like tt system needs to updated or something. I will try to see if I can file somewhere else. I am going to tell my followers to stay away from tt because this is ridiculous.

    TurboTax is slipping so bad this year. After 11 years of using them, last year is now my last. 

     

    I filed my return with cashapp for FREE after 3 weeks of no communication with it still PENDING. It was accepted within SECONDS of filing when I used cashapp.

    I am having the same issue - any answers yet?

    February 9, 2025

    Nope … mine hasn’t been approved or denied . It’s been 9 days. I got my state return deposited already .

    Did you ever get this resolved?

    What was the outcome??

    February 23, 2025

    I filed 2/21/25 and have not moved from the pending status. TT says "Your Federal e-file is currently pending, which means that we have your tax return but it has not yet been filed and accepted" 
    Why have they not filed my return, that seems really odd? 
    Is everyone still having the same issue? Or if it has cleared how long did it actually take? 

    February 24, 2025

    I submitted Friday, 2-21  72 hours later, still pending. I called TT and they say to wacard. Cannot believe them when they tell me they have not heard of this happening. I will give it a few days and then just print the completed forms and mail them with checks (I owe, no refunds for me). Also, I will stop payment to TT on my credit card. This was.my first time using TT and obviously will be my last.

    What does Where's My Refund say?

     

    Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing of your return or the release of your refund.

     

    Here are a couple FAQs to track your refund:
    When will I get my federal tax refund?
    How do I track my state refund?
    Why does Where's My Refund say "approved" but TurboTax still says "accepted"?

    Why do some refunds take longer than others?

    What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?
