How do I confirm that my 2018 federal taxes were filed?

Did you e-file?  To confirm you e-filed, please see below to check the status:

How can you confirm filing correctly if I had filed by mail?

I file my taxes on 15 October and I need confirmation. Thank you. Gina Holland

 Did you efile, or did you print, sign, and mail the return?   

If prepared online, and if you efiled, what is showing for "status" for the 2018 return when you log back into your online account?   Does it say accepted, rejected, pending, printed, started, ready to mail, or what?

And if efiled, what do you see with this tool:

Also, after efiling you should have received 2 emails--one saying that the return was transmitted, followed by a later one saying if the return was accepted or rejected?

Hi i have the same question and  I see printed and also ready to mail". Thank you!

Sorry but Printed or Ready to Mail means you have to print out your return and mail it to the IRS yourself. So it has not been filed yet. Turbo Tax will always say Ready to Mail. They don't know if or when you actually mailed it.
