I need proof that my taxes were filed and accepted. Where do I get that?

[ModestaL]

Did you already file your return?

[ronaldthomas777]

yes

[ModestaL]

If you already e-filed your tax return. Your e-file status will show the date you transmitted your return and if it was accepted or rejected. Both your Federal and State will be listed separately if you filed both. 

Click on the (blue hyperlink) e-file status lookup tool to check your status.

How do I get proof that I filed a 2017 tax return

[nelsond911]

yes.  In 2018

[xmasbaby0]

@nelsond911 When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here? 

https://www.irs.gov/refunds           Or does your account say “Ready to Mail?”

That link you gave just goes to a page with information. There is no field to put in your SS number.

You have to sign onto your 2019 online account using the exact same User ID you used to create the online account.

Close all TurboTax windows on your web browser (including this one).  Copy and paste the account recovery website link onto a new web browser window and run the tool.

Use this TurboTax account recovery website to get a list of all the User ID's for an email address.  Run the tool against any email addresses you may have used - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery

If none of the user ID's received will access your 2019 account, then use the option shown in blue on the account recovery website, "Try something else"

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

To access your prior year tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

I'm not having trouble getting into my account. I do see where my previous year returns and documents are. However, they're not easy to find. The screen is promoting 2020 taxes. I have to hit "continue" then scroll down and there is 2019 info.

The issue is that an agency I'm re-certifying with is requiring I show proof of having filed. The return I sent them does not show that. How do I get proof of having filed?

I want to know if my turbo online went through.   I think i need to redo it.    I am not sure if it went out at check out
