Pending means you e-filed and the return is on a server while you wait to see if the IRS accepts or rejects it. That could take several days. Do not try to make any changes to your return while it is in pending.
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.
