Did you get the initial email from TurboTax that your return was successfully transmitted, and now you are seeing a status of "pending" when you log into TurboTax and look at the Tax Home?

 

The normal second email about IRS acceptance/rejection "within 48 hours" is only when the IRS is up and running.  Unfortunately, due to late tax law changes the IRS will not even open up to start processing until February 12, 2021, except for a few returns they pull early for testing purposes. In the meantime the return will sit on TurboTax servers with a "pending" status. So unless yours is one of the very few returns pulled early by the IRS, you won't know anything until February 12 or soon thereafter.
