If you prepared and e-filed your 2020 MA state return in 2021, your online account will show whether it was accepted or rejected. However, if the state is saying you did not file, then instead of arguing with the state, you could print, sign and mail them a copy of the MA return. Do you have proof that you paid your 2020 tax due? TurboTax never knows if you paid your tax. Your only proof that you paid MA will be your own bank or credit card statements.
You have to access your own account and/or print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.
