Now she said she efiled yesterday ie. October 12 but I don't 100% trust her.
But I did not received any email from either her office or her software UTAX or IRS confirming the same.
How soon after efiling we receive a confirmation email from IRS that they received it?
Also what is the best way to confirm she actually did efiled?
There is no point asking her ...because she has lied before and she has avoided this question before.
She said via email that she efiled but if she did not efiled - are there any consequences to her? because she is an enrolled agent?
You will have to ask someone who uses uTax. We can only guess. My guess is that the accountant will be informed but you will not receive a direct email from uTax. You will never receive a direct e-mail from the IRS.
All e-filed tax returns are sent to one or more data warehouses. The IRS connects to the data warehouse and downloads (or drains) the tax returns once per day Monday-Friday at this time of year. Then, an acknowledgement that the return was accepted or rejected can take up to 2 more work days. So if your return was submitted by the provider on Tuesday, they should have an acknowledgment from the IRS by Friday.
The IRS "where's my refund" web site should then have your return listed as received, no later than Monday (1 working day after the acknowledgement), but it might be listed at the IRS web site sooner than that.
