You say you printed out the return, but you do not say whether your account shows that the return was accepted. 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 filed unless you put it in an envelope and mailed it yourself. TurboTax does not mail tax returns for you. Or....did you mail it and was it lost in the mail? Does the IRS say you owe tax due and did not pay? Your only proof that you paid will be your own credit card or bank records.
If the IRS did not receive your return you need to file it by mail now. Print it, sign and date it in ink, and mail it. If you still owe tax due, make sure you pay it, and expect a bill later for the late penalty and interest owed. If you do not owe, or if you are getting a refund, there is no penalty for filing late.
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.
