There is no "automatic" federal filing. The only way you can file your tax return is by going all the way through the FILE section to click a big orange button that says "Transmit my returns now." No one but you can click that button. The IRS has not even opened e-filing for 2023 returns. It will not be possible for anyone to e-file a 2023 return until late in January. The other way to file a tax return is to print it, sign and date it yourself, put it in an envelope, and take it to a mailbox.
So....not sure what you did, but your tax return is not going to be filed automatically. You are in control of filing it.
