Get your taxes done using TurboTax
@Brandonmwitte TurboTax does not e-file your return. The user must e-file by going through all of the steps in the FILE section to click a big orange button that says "Transmit my Returns Now." That is the only way your return gets e-filed. The software does not click that button for you. After you click the button then you have to watch your emails.
When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first one will say that your return was submitted. The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected. If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.
If you are not sure if you clicked the button to file, check your e-file status:

If it says "accepted" then all you need to do is wait for the IRS to process your tax return.
If it says "rejected" then you need to fix the reason for the rejection and try to e-file it again, or if it is an "un-fixable" rejection like a duplicate Social Security number, you have to print, sign and mail the return. Rejections come from the IRS system--not from TurboTax. If your return was rejected, tell us what the rejection email said so we know how to help.
If the return was accepted then you can track your refund on the IRS site:
Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.
You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 20 of your Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:
