After January, e-filed returns generally sit in Pending status for 24–48 hours or longer before coming back as either Accepted or Rejected. Sometimes state returns stay in Pending for several days or even longer. Why doesn't the government have any record of my pending return? Why is my state e-file still pending?Keep calm and check backUntil your state or the IRS processes your return, you may hear there's "no record found." That actually means the return's still being processed. Just check back in a few days. When will I get my IRS tax refund?
