Hello i had a question, I have filed for both my federal and state.. both for E file. I have received my Federal but my State never came in. I tried to track and the state doesn't have any record. I have received the email and downloaded the PDF for my tax forms from turbo tax with a confirmation stating that my state was filed i was getting XXX amount and it was to be direct deposited in my account... Well as I've been checking the status it has been listed as Ready to Mail.. okay.. i click on the actual link to view my tax records it shows as printed. Am i just going to have to wait longer? i filed a little bit later between June and July with all the covid mess that's been going on but i did file before the new deadline.
You said you have received email that the return was "filed", but the terms "filed" and "efiled" are not necessarily the same thing. Did you ever receive an email that explicitly said your state return had actually been efiled and "accepted?" And when you logged back into TurboTax, did it ever specifically say at the Tax Home that your return status was "accepted?"
When you log into TurboTax, at the Tax Home is it currently saying "ready to mail" for the state return? "Ready to mail" implies that the return was not efiled. Likewise, a status of "printed" implies it was not efiled. Both imply you had planned to mail the return (TurboTax does not mail it for you.)
If it turns out that you have not actually efiled the state return, and assuming you did not file it by mail, you can reopen the interview back up, go to the FILE section and proceed to efile the state return To open the interview back up, at the Tax Home you would click on the link "Add a State." That doesn't really add one, but opens the return.
If you had indeed successfully efiled the state return before, it won't let you efile it again. But it sounds like, based on the info provided, that is hasn't been efiled.
