How to check for delayed e-file acknowledgments

by Intuit•24• Updated 2 days ago

Be sure to check your e-file acknowledgments frequently to ensure you pull the acknowledgment as soon as it is available.

Before you start:

Returns are not officially delayed until they exceed the maximum processing time as defined by:

  • Federal return acknowledgements are usually available within one to three business days.
  • State return acknowledgements are usually available within two to five business days.
  • BSA acknowledgments (for Form 114) are usually available within two to five business days.
  • Department of Labor acknowledgements (for Form 5500) are usually available within one business day.
  • Returns are considered timely filed based on the time they are timestamped during the e-file transmission process, not when they are accepted.

Current delayed acknowledgments

Some state agencies currently can't retrieve new e-filed returns from the IRS. This affects Georgia, Minnesota, New York, and Ohio so far. If you e-filed returns with any of these states, your state e-file acknowledgments may be delayed. The states are working with the IRS to fix the issue, and we'll update this banner when it's resolved. South Carolina can retrieve returns again as of October 7, 2026, but its e-file acknowledgments may take a few days to catch up. Last updated: October 8, 2026
