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:

If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here?
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.
If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty for filing past the deadline. If you owe taxes, the interest/penalties will be calculated by the IRS based on how much you owe and when they receive your return and payment. The IRS will bill you for this; it will not be calculated by TurboTax.
Everything’s filed. Just not accepted. So I was curious how long that takes. And if it’s not accepted by midnight tonight, do I get a penalty.
The tax return is Pending until the IRS either accepts or rejects the tax return. If Accepted the date/time of filing will be used so it was filed on time. If Rejected then you have 5 days to fix the tax return and e-file again with no penalty if the IRS accepts the tax return,
