The IRS has accepted my return, but my online account at TurboTax says that I haven't finished filing. How do I get the online to update?

TurboTax emailed me that my return was accepted. But i kept getting emails from them saying that the deadline was approaching. So, they have not updated the actual status of my return. How do I fix this?

If your e-file status shows as Accepted when you log in to your TurboTax Online account, then your return has been accepted by the IRS and you can disregard the email.

TurboTax sends deadline reminders after you've filed because these are automated marketing emails sent to users based on the overall tax deadline (e.g., Oct 15 extension deadline), not your specific account status. If your return is marked as "Accepted" in the TurboTax E-file Status Tracker or your app, you can ignore these messages.

If you have more than one TurboTax Online account, and you didn't use one of them this year, this could also be a reason why you are getting additional messages.
