I filed my 2019 taxes with TurboTax in March of 2020. It has been a year and I have yet to receive my return. I have my 1040 from turbo tax automatic system can’t find it

I called turbo tax and the system claims they cannot find  my return but I have my 2019 1040 from turbo tax, even when i sign in turbo tax is acting as if my 2019 taxes were filed. The IRS cannot find my return either.

It is possible that your tax return was either from TurboTax CD/Download not bought directly at TurboTax.com or that a different account username was used.

 

It is also possible that it was completed, not e-filed, and not submitted at all.

 

Please check the print out for any directions to mail it in. I suspect that the return was set to paper file, not e-file. If you thought it was done and e-filed, you would not have mailed in the Federal and State returns, and the IRS and state would therefore not have any record of it.

 

What to do:

  1. Mail in what you have for 2019 according to the directions on the cover page from TurboTax.
    1. Mail the IRS your federal return.
    2. If you have a state filing requirement, you will need to send the state tax return separately.
  2. File the 2020 tax return if it will not be impacted by the 2019 filing. Use $0 for the 2019 Adjusted Gross Income because there is nothing on file.
    1. What would impact 2020 from 2019?

How many Intuit Accounts do I have with TurboTax?

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately the cover letter to my 1040 provided by TurboTax has no instructions. I efiled my return with turbo tax, I never sent anything to the IRS and I was not instructed too.

Ive called numerous times and I am never able to get a live person on the phone. Even when I call with a case number given to me directly from the tubo tax chat I still cannot get through to a live person. I am constantly redirected to the website or live chat. This is crazy.

Unfortunately, the call volume is high during this time of year. You can contact the IRS for the status of your return.

How do I contact the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)?
