I'm dubious as well that perhaps TurboTax Desktop For Mac really hasn't E-Filed my 2023 Georgia Amended Return after my first attempt on March 11 led to the status within TurboTax (File/Check E-filing Status) reverting from immediately/briefly indicating that "Your 2023 Georgia Amended Return was Accepted" to saying "Your 2023 Georgia Return was Accepted" (Note that the word "Amended" was dropped after perhaps a couple hours). TurboTax didn't notify of this ... it's just something I noticed after checking again. So this lousy way TurboTax has of showing E-filing status with no dates/times/revision numbering can change without any customer input.
So, I waited for that March 14 date and re-E-filed my Georgia State return and this time TurboTax continues to say every day that "Your 2023 Georgia Amended Return was Accepted". But again, it gave me that status IMMEDIATELY after I chose to E-file? Wouldn't it take some amount of time before they could conclude it was "Accepted"? Hmm?
So why else am I dubious? Well, unlike all past successful E-filing I always got an e-mail from TurboTax indicating that my Federal and State returns were transmitted and then another e-mail when they were accepted. This is exactly how it worked for my Federal Tax return (even the amended one). But when E-filing the Georgia Amended Return(s) I got no emails at all about the status of these State returns.
I'm taking TurboTax at it's word right now when they continue to show in their software that my return was Accepted by the State. But, I check daily on the Georgia Tax Center site if I ever see an indication there that they have received or processed my amended return which they have not yet. (It only shows the date of my non-amended return being received/accepted). I have no idea what the State's timeframe is for processing Amended returns and showing an updated status to me.
I thought briefly that maybe I should try to re-re-E-file the Amended state return but given that TurboTax in their (File/Check E-filing Status) doesn't even show any details about which Amended return they say was "Accepted" it probably won't make things any clearer to me about what is going on.
Will let this play out another week before deciding on any other actions.
Hey, TurboTax how about improving the File/Check E-filing Status message you present to give a little more proof that things were transmitted like time stamps and other things showing a bit more proof especially given that you did not send e-mails about that at the time of re-E-filing an Amended Return.
