It didn't work for us. No confirmation by selecting ever option on TTD Deluxe Windows.  E file status not updating. Customer support confirmed and email confirmation of return accept, but not on software.

So when you click on the File menu at the top left of the desktop program screen and click on Electronic Filing>Check Electronic Filing Status, absolutely nothing is shown?

Did you e-file the tax return in the File section of the program by clicking on the large Orange button labeled "Transmit my returns now"?

Were both my federal and state taxes filed electronically or do I have to print them out and mail them?

Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted?
Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.

You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large button labeled "Transmit my returns now".

After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.

Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.

To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product.
If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds
If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899433-how-do-i-track-my-state-refund

After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

I need my confirmation number

@Ceddywop21 There is no "confirmation number" from the IRS.   If you e-filed then there is an electronic postmark that shows that you e-filed.   It will print out with your tax return when you print after filing.  For further information please read through this entire thread.

@Prestonwhitesr

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.

@Prestonwhitesr Your question about the "order number" concerns me......I wonder if you really went all the way through the FILE section and e-filed.   Paying your fees does not file your tax return.   If you did not successfully e-file and get an email telling you that the e-file was accepted, then you probably did not go far enough in the program.   And if you did not e-file, it is now too late to e-file.   If you discover that you did not e-file correctly, the only way to file your tax returns now is by mail.   E-filing is closed.

If you need to file by mail, print the returns, sign and date them in ink, and put them in envelopes to mail.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

I got a conformation email from turbo tax last May that my tax return was accepted by the IRS

Now I get a letter from the IRS that says it never received my return. What can I do to prove my return was sent from turbo tax?

[xmasbaby0]

@Pjc39571 Read that letter carefully.  The IRS does not send letters just to say they did not get a tax return from you.  Does it say you owe federal tax and did not pay?    Your only proof that you paid your tax due is your own bank or credit card records.

I efiled federal and state tax returns yesterday. I receive confirmation from Intuit and my bank of my payment for state tax efile. I have not received any status from the IRS that my taxes were received. How long does this take? When I go back into the TurboTax Deluxe program it's asking me to efile. Something doesn't look right.

thanks.
