We cannot see your tax return or your account. Did you file your tax return? Was it accepted? Did you pay your tax due? If you already filed and paid, TurboTax will not know that you paid. TurboTax never knows how, when or even if you paid your tax due. Your account will only show the result of the tax return that you prepared and will never update to show whether you actually paid the IRS or your state.
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.
