Question

California e-file return still shows pending, could you help check if something is pending or was it rejected due to some error?

    If it is "pending" it is still waiting to be accepted or rejected.  A state return cannot be accepted until the federal return has been accepted.  There is usually a lag between acceptance of the federal and state returns.

     

    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.

    Federal return already got accepted within few minutes of submission, could you please help check if there is any issue with my California return?

    No.  No one in the user forum can check anything like that for you.   We have no access to your information.   

     

    Check you own e-file status:
