Good morning,

I filed my taxes for 2020, both with IRS and the State of Virginia. However, I have not heard back from either.

Is it possible that I did not submit the forms correctly? I can't find a copy of the filings in my computer. I do have a printed copy.

Did you e-file your tax returns and were they accepted?
Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.

You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large Orange button labeled "Transmit my returns now".

After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.

Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund. Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.

To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for checking the e-file status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/return-status/help/how-do-i-check-my-e-file-status/01/25538

Did you go all the way through the File tab, through the 3 steps and hit the big orange Transmit Returns Now button?

IF YOU USED THE ONLINE WEB VERSION

You can check your efile status here

https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

When you efile you get back 2 emails. The first email only confirms the transmission. The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile.

When you log into your account you should also see the status and if it was Accepted or Rejected, Started, Printed, Ready to Mail, etc. What does it say?

IF YOU USED THE DESKTOP PROGRAM

For the Desktop program you have to check the filing status inside the program. Open your return and go up to menu item

File > Electronic Filing > Check Electronic Filing Status
