You would need to contact the IRS for further assistance regarding this matter. Their phone number is 800-829-1040. When calling, be sure to have the following:

  • Your Social Security Number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number
  • Your filing status (Single, Head of Household, Married Filing Joint, or Married Filing Separate)
  • Your prior-year tax return (they may ask you questions from it to verify your identity)
  • A copy of the tax return you’re calling about
  • Any letters they may have sent you
  • Paper and pen to take notes—make sure to write down the day you called and the name and ID number of the agent you spoke to, as well as any instructions or deadlines you were given.

Please note: It may take over an hour to get your call answered as the IRS is working with limited staff at this time.

@madehart18 You can check if you filed a tax return with the IRS for 2018 and see if it was accepted, by ordering a tax transcript from the IRS. This is a free service and is usually processed the same day. Please click this link to order a tax transcript: Welcome to Get Transcript

 

Or, to access your prior year tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID you used to create the account.

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on 2018

 

What is the status of the federal tax return?  If the status is anything other than Accepted then the tax return was never e-filed. If you did not print and mail the federal tax return then the return was never filed.
