Where can I find my IRS confirmation number?

[VolvoGirl]

Did you go all the way through the File tab, through the 3 steps and hit the big orange Transmit Returns Now button?  Just paying the fee doesn't file it.

When you efile you get back 2 emails.  The first email only confirms the transmission.  The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile.  And check your spam folder for them.

When you log into your account you should also see the status and if it was Accepted or Rejected, Started, Printed, Ready to Mail, etc.  What does it say?

You can try Efiling again.  If the first one was Accepted it will just reject.

I would like to know if the IRS received my taxes or not?

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: 

https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

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.

I need my irs confirmation number

[xmasbaby0]

@Ldaughtery  There is no IRS  confirmation number.  What are you trying to do?   What do you want a confirmation number for?

[keithv]

The confirmation number supplied when I applied to make a debit payment of my taxes.

You should have requested that the confirmation number be sent to your email address.  Check your email account.

I choose to make my tax  due to IRS payable by direct payment from my bank account . How do I check to make sure the payment is scheduled? I did not write down a confirmation number.

If you used the IRS payment website the confirmation number would be sent to your email address - https://www.irs.gov/payments

If you selected direct debit for your bank account when using  the TurboTax online program, the bank information and the date selected for payment will be on the Filing Instructions page for the federal tax return when using Print Center.

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

When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state. 

This will take you back to the 2024 online tax return.

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.  Then click on Print Center.  Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.  Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets
