You must use TurboTax Business to prepare and file an 1120S  tax return for an S-Corp and prepare a K-1 using that software. Is that what you used and did you file the business tax return?

 

The filing deadline remained March 16, 2020 for an S-Corp form 1120S. If you missed the deadline, you might be able to appeal it saying you thought the deadline was extended to July 15 the same as corporate tax returns and personal tax returns. 

 

Here is where to buy the Business software to download and install on your personal computer: https://turbotax.intuit.com/small-business-taxes/

Generally, an S corporation must file Form 1120-S by the 15th day of the 3rd month after the end of its tax year. For calendar year corporations, the due date is March 16, 2020 (March 15th falls on Sunday).

 

When did you file the tax return?  Did you e-file the tax return?  If you e-filed the tax return look at the status of the e-filed return for the date it was filed.  Click on File at the top of the program screen.  Click on Electronic Filing.
