How do I know if my tax return was filed and everything went through

You have to hit the Transmit Returns button in order to e-file your return or print/mail your return, if not e-filing. 

If you have e-filed using TurboTax Online, you can check e-file status here https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/ 

If you are using TurboTax desktop product, open the software, click File tab in the very top of computer screen and scroll down to Check E-Filing Status.

Your status should show as either Pending, Accepted or Rejected. If accepted, that means the government has your return and will handle processing from here on out. If pending, it's on the way to the government and they haven't accepted it yet. If rejected, you will need to check email for rejection code and fix what needs to be corrected.

And once you have filed successfully using TurboTax, the IRS and/or state handles all processing of the returns and your refunds. TurboTax no longer has any control nor does any processing/handling of the returns and refunds. 

You can use the IRS Where's My Refund site for the latest status on your federal tax refund.

And you can use your State Department of Revenue's website to check status of state tax refund. Choose your state here How do I track my state refund? and it will give you steps to track the status.

@Bvvrlybelle

First please make sure you are logged with the correct USER ID in your TurboTax account.

Please see this TurboTax FAQ for more information:

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/accessing/help/why-can-t-i-find-my-return-in-tax-home-or-my-docs/0...

Once you have logged into the correct TurboTax account please see this TurboTax FAQ for more information on how to access a prior year's tax return.

If you did not file with TurboTax in 2018 the IRS allows you to obtain a free tax transcript online and you can usually get it the same day.

Did my taxes get approved

Only the IRS can tell you.  IRS Where's my refund https://www.irs.gov/refunds/

 

Make sure you are using the refund amount from your actual federal tax return and not the combined amount Turbo Tax showed you at the end.  That was for federal and state combined.

 

Was your return Accepted?  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?

@Dale63

 

There may be numerous reasons why you have not yet received your stimulus payment, the most common reason being that the IRS has not yet processed your 2019 tax return.

 

Please read this IRS FAQ for more information.
