How did my 2023 tax return get filed without my knowledge?

I thought I had until 10/31/2024 to file my 2023 taxes but it appears they were filed on 10/17/2024.

How did my 2023 tax return get filed without my knowledge?

No one else could file your tax return for you----why do you think it was filed?   Did YOU click a big orange button that said "Transmit my returns now"????    What does it say in your account?   Does it say "accepted", "rejected", "printed" or "ready to mail"?     If it says anything other than accepted, it was not e-filed successfully.

 

 

Did you e-file?  Did you click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”

 

 

When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.

 

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here?  

https://www.irs.gov/refunds         

  Or does your account say “Ready to Mail?”

 

Note:  If it says “Ready to Mail” or “Printed” that means YOU have to mail it yourself.  TurboTax does not mail your tax return for you.

 

 

 

 

  But e-filing is now permanently closed for 2023.   If you did not file your return you now have to file it by mail.

 

Print it, sign and date it in ink, and mail it in.

 

 

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

 

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
