I need efile status acceptance document with date sent/accepted. I do not have the email acceptance that I can print. I need this to send to the IRS.
How can I prove I e-filed my return (what is an "electronic postmark")?
As long as you transmitted your return before 11:59 PM on the day taxes were due, your return is considered timely filed even if it doesn't get accepted until after the deadline.
You can show you e-filed before the deadline using an Electronic Postmark, which is a time stamp that shows when your return was transmitted. You can find it in TurboTax. See below for instructions on how to find it for your current or prior year return.
(If you're concerned because you haven't yet received your refund, there are many reasons why a refund may be delayed, even if you filed on time.)

1. Open your return.
2. On the first screen (it will say "Take me to my return"), scroll down and select Your tax returns and documents.
3. Select the current year.
