Question

I e-transmitted my return and it says pending. How long does it usually take for it to be accepted and will turbo tax confirm it?

If my e-transmit status is pending does that mean I did something wrong in the filing process?

Pending only means the tax return is waiting for the IRS to pull the return from the server location.  When the IRS pulls the tax return you will receive an email from TurboTax when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.

This procedure can take anywhere from 24 to 72 hours.  Maybe longer at this time of year.

Thanks - if it's pending, does that mean I have met the filing deadline?

Yes.  Since the tax return was transmitted on or before April 18, 2023.
