No one has access to your account; no one can send you a tax return. You have to access your own tax return and print it out for yourself. TurboTax does not mail tax returns to you or for you. A 2023 return cannot be e-filed. The only way to file it is by mail. Paying your TurboTax fees did not file your return; if you did not go all the way through the three steps of the FILE section and click a big orange button that said, "Transmit my returns now" -- you did not file your tax return. If you are getting a refund or do not owe, there is no penalty for filing late. If you owe tax due, you are late and will receive a bill from the IRS later for the late penalty and interest owed after you pay the tax due as shown on the Form 1040.
You have to access your own account and/or print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

SAVE YOUR TAX RETURNS !
EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records. That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.

NOTE: TurboTax and the IRS save returns for seven years. Returns older than seven years are purged.
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.
