Thank you so so much for this post.  I've had several returns that I efiled on the opening day in 2023 for prior year and they were just stuck in the "transmitted" status.  I tried updating the status, re-submitting them, etc, to no avail.  It never occurred to me to go to "update status" instead of "receive status".

I assumed they all went to the IRS but have been concerned anyway as I never got my final acknowledgement.  This post has been a world of relief and help to me.  Thank you!

With tax season upon us, I have just been too swamped to even attempt to search for help but today I decided to and landed upon your post!
