TurboTax stuck on pending for 2 days - normal wait time or audit red flag?
Filed through TurboTax and its been stuck on pending for almost 2 days now. Getting worried because usually it gets accepted pretty quick. Starting to stress about whether this means im getting audited or if this is just normal processing time these days?

Tax professional here - this is totally normal, especially during peak filing season. The IRS systems can take 24-72 hours to process and send acceptance/rejection notices. An audit wouldn't be determined this early in the process, so you can relax about that.

•100% legit. It uses AI to read your transcript and explains everything in plain english. Better than trying to decode IRS codes yourself

Don't panic! 2 days is actually pretty standard right now. The IRS is swamped with early filers and their systems are processing slower than usual. I've seen returns take up to a week to get accepted during peak season. An audit determination wouldn't happen at this stage anyway - that comes much later in the process after your return is already accepted and processed. Just hang tight!
