Partial misspelling on address found AFTER e-filing taxes

Hello.  I just realized that I misspelled the word "Court" as "Cout" in my mailing address in my 2023 tax return.  Does anyone have an idea if this might result in a rejection of my return from the IRS?  I e-filed but received no email confirmation from TT as I normally would but when I called TT their system shows IRS accepted it.  I tried calling the IRS but unable to get a representative on the phone.  Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Did you e-file?  Did you click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”

 

 

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?”

 

Note:  If it says “Ready to Mail” or “Printed” that means YOU have to mail it yourself.  TurboTax does not mail your tax return for you.

That sort of typo is inconsequential.   No need to stress over it.

Thanks xmasbaby0.  I was wondering if that was the reason I didn't get my e-file email confirmation so now am trying to figure out if the e-file was actually successful.
