What do I do when I do not receive a confirmation that the IRS received my return?

[DenLen]

filed 2020 turbo tax return on 4-11-21.  I have not received the confirmation from the IRS that they received the tax return.  It has been 4 days at the time of this question to the community.  What do I do? (No, it is NOT in my junk folder.)

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?  

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 did NOT get the 2nd email of acceptance from TurboTax.  The 2nd suggestion said to check my refund on the IRS website, and that worked: return was received and accepted.
