I have the download (not online) version of TurboTax and if I check there through the app it says E-File status is "Accepted". If I go online to my account I don't see anywhere to check that status. And when I filed I got a confirmation email from TurboTax saying my return was accepted. But should I have also gotten some kind of email from the IRS confirming receipt and/or acceptance of the return? I've searched back through my email and can't find anything. So I'm left a little in doubt because there's nothing I can point to from the IRS even confirming I ever filed.
The IRS does not send receipts of any kind for receiving a tax return. The IRS only communicates with taxpayers by mail, the do not email or phone taxpayers.
When the e-filed tax return is received by the IRS then you receive an email from TurboTax notifying you that the tax return has been Accepted. Along with the notification in the desktop program for the Electronic Filing Status.
If you had a tax refund on the federal tax return then check the status of the return using the IRS website - https://www.irs.gov/refunds
If you had taxes owed and you paid the taxes then you will have proof of payment from your bank account or credit card statement, depending on how the taxes owed were paid. Or a confirmation number from the IRS if you used the IRS payment website to pay the taxes owed - https://www.irs.gov/payments
