    After you submit your efile, it will say pending until the IRS Accepts or Rejects it.  Usually within 48 hours.  https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/return-status/help/what-does-pending-mean/00/26331

     

    You can check your efile status here     

    https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   

     

    When you efile you get back 2 emails.  The first email only confirms the transmission.  The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile.

     

    When you log into your account you should also see the status and if it was Accepted or Rejected, Started, Printed, Ready to Mail, etc.  what does it say?

    Sorry but Printed or Ready to Mail means you have to actually print out your tax return and mail it to the IRS or state yourself.  So it has not been filed yet.  And it will always say Ready to Mail.  Turbo Tax doesn’t know if or when you mailed it and the IRS doesn’t update Turbo Tax when they get your mailed return.    You can try to switch to efile.   Click on Add a State to let you back into your retun.
