Use the instructions in the TurboTax FAQ below to check the status of your e-filed return.

 

How do I check my e-file status?

Yes, I know that I can (and did) check the status of my return. It indicates successfully sent and received by the IRS. I am still leery and concerned I did not get any confirmation emails.

I can't blame you.  I always get a confirmation email from TurboTax, too.

 

Did you check your Spam folder (just in case)?

First thing I did was check SPAM folder. No Email.

Second thing I did was check the filing status. Yes, successfully transmitted. 24 hours later, status was updated to successfully accepted by the IRS.

Third thing I did was check that my email address was correct. Yes, it is correct.

 

I should note I used the Download version of Turbo Tax to file. If that has any bearing?

I use Desktop platform exclusively, and I've always received a confirmation email for both transmission and acceptance.  Go figure.

 

But do this:

Click on your FILE tab.  Underneath that, you'll see the option to Check E-File Status.  

Once you do this, your return will show as officially Accepted in the TurboTax program.  See screenshot (with the worst underline in the history of humanity).  😉

EDITED AFTER POSTING:  I'm so sorry!  I NOW see that you've already been through this exercise.  I have no explanation as to why you didn't receive the email from TurboTax.  I think you're safe, though, in knowing that you've successfully filed and your return has been accepted.
