Last friday I filed my federal income tax online on efile…..and it told me I had to wait till it got approved or something like that…well its been a week and I still haven’t heard from them….I went back today to do my state, but it wouldn’t let me file my state till I heard back from the IRS about my federal…..is this unusual should I have heard from them already?

    We don’t file state returns in Texas, so I don’t know about waiting for approval, but one week isn’t excessive. If you are truly worried about it you can call the IRS and they can update you.

    EACH STATE IS DIFFERENT CALL TH IRS IN YOUR STATE OR EMAIL THEM.

    If everything is OK with a return, it’s usually accepted overnight, two days at most. Since last Friday was the first day to efile, the IRS could be backed up a little bit, but a week is still a really long time.

    There are some tax provisions that the IRS won’t be ready to accept until February 3. These are the tax breaks that Congress didn’t approve until December. If you took advantage of one of those, it’s possible your return is on hold until February 3.
