The IRS does not have record of my 2021 tax forms but TurboTax shows they were accepted by IRS on March 29, 2022. I need help?

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2021 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

To track your state refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

OR——if you filed by mail, expect a long wait.   It is taking the very backlogged IRS six to nine months to process mailed returns.   Until a human opens your envelope and enters the data into the system, nothing will even show up on the refund site, so you will have to be very patient.

@marcusdlawson199   Did you mean they were accepted March 29, 2021 or 2022?  If they were accepted in March 2021 that was for your 2020 return.

My 2021 Federal Tax forms were not recieved by the IRS.  They were accepted in TurboTax on March 29, 2022.

Can TurboTax resend my 2021 Taxes since the IRS doesnt have them?

You would have to print them out and mail them yourself.

If you filed a federal tax return in March of 2021 that would have been for a 2020 federal tax return.

To access your current or prior year tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

A 2020 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.

Print, sign, date and mail the tax return to the IRS.  Include with the mailed return any forms W-2 and 1099 which have taxes withheld.  Go to this IRS website for mailing addresses - https://www.irs.gov/filing/where-to-file-paper-tax-returns-with-or-without-a-payment

There are no penalties for filing a tax return after the due date if filing for a tax refund or there are no taxes owed.

You should use a tracking service from the US Post Office when mailing the tax return so that you will have proof that the IRS received the tax return.

When you mail in the return, you may want to include a cover letter explaining the situation and copies of TT's "Eletronic Postmark - Certificate of Electronic Filing" and a copy of TT's e-mail to you telling you the IRS had accepted your return (usually same date as the e-filing).
