Was my 2018 return filed? IRS says they have no record of my 2018 return being filed yet I have a receipt from TurboTax for payment for electronic filing

Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted?
Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.

You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large Orange button labeled "Transmit my returns now".

After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.

Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.

Use this TurboTax website to check the status of an e-filed return and if it was either accepted or rejected - https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/
If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds

@dennisj550 I'm having some difficulty understanding the issue you're experiencing.  Did you e-file your tax return but the IRS has no record of your return in Where's My Refund?

I have A receipt that says my 2018 taxes where efiled March 31, 2020. IRS has no record. Was it ever filed?

[Ksolt824]

I never received any reply from IRS.

Do you mean March 31, 2019?  If you think you filed a 2018 return in 2020 then it was on 2019 forms and got filed as your 2019 return-and you have a big problem.
