I am not sure I follow what you are doing.  I go to e-file and "receive acknowledgment statuses" - nothing comes back on this file.  If I go to the EF Center the file is in the pending tab and if I click on the update EF status it just states that the federal return was received by Intuit.  It isn't giving me a rejection.  Is there something else I need to do to get the reject?  Once the federal return is resolved, then I can resubmit the state return, that I am not worried about.
