I have an e-mail from TurboTax that both my returns were accepted on April 2 but just received another noticed that I had not submitted my returns. What happened??

I have now submitted my returns as of today. I will received a decreased refund that I assume is for late interest.

If you logged on with more than one account during the year, TurboTax may have sent you a notice that was referring to the account you did not end up filing your return with. Did you submit returns again without verifying whether your original returns were filed and accepted or not?

You could have verified their transmission and acceptance using this link: https://shop.turbotax.intuit.com/efile/efile_status_lookup.jsp

 

If the original returns were submitted and accepted, the returns you just filed today will be rejected. 

 

If the original returns were submitted and accepted and you are getting a refund, you can check the status using the IRS tracking web site: https://www.irs.gov/refunds

Are you sure that email said your returns were accepted in April?  Or does the email say your return was "submitted?"  When you e-file you get an email that says your return was submitted but you have to keep watching your emails. The next email tells you if your return was accepted or rejected.  If it was rejected you have to try to fix it and re-file it.  Did you discover that your returns were not accepted ?  Did you fix it to re-file?

Was it accepted this time?  

 

There is no penalty for filing late if you are getting a refund, and your refund will not be reduced for filing late.  You should still get the refund that is shown on line 20 of your Form 1040.

 

Another possibility for getting a notice that your return was not filed--- did you start out in one account, forget how to access it and start over in another account?  Sometimes users do that, and then later the "old" account will generate emails telling you that you did not file.  Those notices should be ignored.

 

Check your e-file status to see when/if your return was accepted:

In fact if you get a late refund it may *include* interest.  My friend filed and got a larger refund deposit from the IRS.
