Why is turbotax not showing my return as received by IRS? It says pending. Even at the bottom of page under efile status it shows irs received....???

The IRS began to accept/reject e-files today on 1-29.   Even if the IRS accepted your return you will have to allow some time for the information to show up on the IRS refund site.

Did you e-file?  Did you click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”

When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here?
