It sounds like you have not finished the signature and efile process. Your sentence is confusing and has little info, so it's not clear what you are referring to.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "getting my last code number." Are you referring to a 6-digit email verification code that some online filers have to retrieve from their email and enter? Or are you referring to the 5-digit Self-Select PIN where you choose any 5 digits to sign the return?
If you're referring to the 6-digit email verification code, you have to leave the screen open that asks for the code while you use another tab or a second window to go to your email to retrieve the code. Then you enter the 6-digit code in the screen you left open. If you close that screen that asks for the code, then the code will always be seen as invalid or "expired."
If you're referring to the 5-digit signature PIN, there is a screen where you electronically sign the return by entering a "Self-Select PIN", which is any 5 digits of your choosing. It is on a screen with today's date and your birthdate.
If you're using Online TurboTax, you also may encounter a screen before transmitting with a Captcha to indicate "I am not a robot." And when you get to the final screen, there is a big orange "Transmit Returns Now" button. You have to click that "Transmit" button to actually submit the return.
After successfully transmitting the return, you should get 2 emails--one that the return has been transmitted, and one in 24-48 hours later (or sooner), saying if the efiled return was accepted or rejected. If using Online TurboTax, you can also check the efile status at any time by logging back in and looking at the Tax Home.
If you didn't finish efiling by clicking the orange "Transmit Return Now" button to actually efile, you can go back through the screens in the FILE section again.
