Notification from IRS

In earlier years I always had a refund, but this year,  I paid extra in April.   Will I get a notification from the IRS that my tax return has been processed and fully accepted?    I e-filed via Turbotax on April 15th and did get an acceptance of the e-file, however, I had expected to receive a final notice already.  in the meantime, I created an ID.me account and downloaded my tax transcripts;  they state that my return was already processed on May 8th.  So,  the IRS will not send a final notice?

You mean you had a tax due?  No you don't get anything from the IRS.  The efile Accepted email is all.  Unless you don't pay the tax due, then the IRS will send you a bill in the mail.   Your only proof is your bank statement or credit card showing the payment.  You already have proof your return was processed.

Thanks Volvogirl.

 

As mentioned, this is my first time in this situation (no refund).  Also,  the only way I found out that my return was processed is because I downloaded the tax transcripts via ID.me.  Otherwise,  I would have had no information.

As additional information,  I did also check via "Where's my refund?".   After prompting,  I understood that I should fill in "$1" for the refund in case of no refund.   

The system then responds that my tax return is "still being processed",  in contrast to the transcript which says it was already processed on May 8th,  3.5 months ago.
