Question

Why does my federal taxes show pending as a status? I filed 2 days ago and am wondering something is wrong? How long does it take to process? Will I be penalized?

Is there a way to print it so it meets the deadline?

Pending simply means that your e-filed return is on its way and that the government hasn't accepted or rejected it yet.  It can take up to 72 hours for the IRS to Accept the tax return or longer at this time due to the high volume of  returns being filed.

You have filed the federal tax return on time so there is no need to be concerned.
