I just received a letter from the IRS stating that they have not received my 2018 return. It is all completed on the site and for some reason was not sent in. Please advise

To access your current or prior year tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show. Click on 2018

What is the status of the e-filed federal tax return? If the status is anything but Accepted then the tax return was never e-filed. If you did not print and mail the federal tax return then the return was never filed.

A 2018 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.

Print, sign, date and mail the tax return to the IRS. Include with the mailed return any forms W-2 and 1099 which have taxes withheld. Go to this IRS website for mailing addresses - https://www.irs.gov/filing/where-to-file-paper-tax-returns-with-or-without-a-payment

There are no penalties for filing a tax return after the due date if filing for a tax refund or there are no taxes owed.

I think e-file was included with my payment. Should there be a refund??

If you used the TurboTax online editions there are no e-file fees for a tax return, federal or state. The TurboTax account fees are for the use of the software to assist in completing a tax return. The account fees are the same whether a tax return is e-filed or printed for mailing.
