It means the IRS accepted it, but the TT software just hasn’t updated to show it yet.
That happened to me, too.
I heard about a supposed turbo tax glitch, and went ahead and filed with Tax Act yesterday, being TT was pending from 1/15. I knew the worst that could happen was whichever one processed second, it would simply be rejected.
So, I got an email from Tax Act saying Federal was rejected because the Primary SSN had been used this year.
Logged onto TT, said “pending”.
Went to my IRS2Go app which has WMR built into it for the heck of it.
One orange bar, showing accepted.
An hour later, got the text from TT and the email saying it got accepted.
TT shows Feb. 20 for refund date (of course, that is 21 business days from now), but says 9 out of 10 people last year got theirs within 7-10 business days.
I remember it being pretty short, all things considered last year, but I’ve never had one within the week, it’s usually two for me…I always had seemed to file just after a cycle processed. LOL
