Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Mailing your return will not get you a stimulus check in 2020 based on the IRS processing your mailed 2019 return. The IRS is currently working on opening over 11 million pieces of mail that piled up during the pandemic. A return you mail now may not even have a fighting chance of being opened by a human for several months. And e-filing and mailing your return is a recipe for confusion and delay. Give your e-file time--and check your emails for word on whether they are accepted or rejected.
First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

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.
