You should have gotten the status of your returns by now. You can check the status of your e-filed returns. It will give you the status of your return of either accepted, rejected, or no return filed.

How do I check my e-file status?

Once your returns have been accepted, the IRS states that nine out of 10 e-filed tax returns with direct deposit will be processed within 21 days of IRS e-file acceptance. Mailed paper returns: If you filed a paper return, please allow 4 weeks before checking the status. Refund processing time is 6 to 8 weeks from the date the IRS receives your tax return.

The IRS expects the earliest EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or debit cards starting February 27, 2020, if these taxpayers chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with their tax return.

Same here going over 72 hours. I haven't received any response from them. Is this norm? Getting worried already and thought my returns got lost in cyberspace.

Normally, After January, e-filed returns generally sit in Pending status for 24–48 hours before coming back as either Accepted or Rejected. Sometimes state returns stay in Pending for several days or even longer. Please check your e-file status to ensure your return was transmitted.

Have you been accepted yet? Mine still says pending as well and it’s been over 72 hours. I reached out to TurboTax online and they told me that my returns are still processing and will be sent to the IRS at the appropriate time. What the heck does that even mean. Sounds like they are having issues sending the returns to the irs. It’s making me anxious though.
