@Children 15 You have multiple short posts that do not make clear exactly what you did or what you are trying to do. You are asking about e-filing, stimulus checks, tax returns, etc. We cannot really tell what you are asking about, since you have not provided details, and your posts have been added on to an already very long thread full of other users unrelated posts. Could you ask some more complete clear questions to get the help you need?
One of your posts asks about 2018. A 2018 return cannot be e-filed. 2018 has to be printed, signed and mailed. AND----it had to be prepared using 2018 software. You cannot use the online software program, which is ONLY for a 2019 return.
If you need to file a 2018 return:
Online preparation and e-filing for 2018 is permanently closed.
To file a return for a prior tax year
If you need to prepare a return for 2016, 2017, or 2018 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign, and mail the return(s)

Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.
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.
Note: The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac. It cannot be used on a mobile device.
If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty for filing past the deadline. If you owe taxes, the interest/penalties will be calculated by the IRS based on how much you owe and when they receive your return and payment. The IRS will bill you for this; it will not be calculated by TurboTax.

You also asked about filing a state return. Yes you can file a state return if you need to file it. A state return has nothing whatsoever to do with getting a stimulus check.
You are also asked how to check to see if an e-file went through---but we don't know what you e-filed. If you e-filed a 2019 return, check your e-file status:
