Need help understanding the efile process with Turbotax Desktop (2021 filing)! 😫😟
In the efile sequence of screens, at one point where i needed to make a payment I went forward using the guest option, I didn't create / login to an Intuit account for it. I was able to make a payment using credit card and move forward with the efile screens. But I wanted to find out if the efile done by going down this path was ok? Would IRS and state have received my returns? I did get emails that they were accepted, but when I went into the Efile status history in my desktop software for my return after it was efiled, I saw following messages in the history, so not sure now if 'my' return was sent and acknowledged or something incorrect. None of the messages below or emails received have any confirmation number nor even last four of SSN nor a timestamp to indicate when it was logged, to indicate a specific return was sent. Any clarification on the process or suggestions on where to look to get confirmation that my return (either SSN or AGI amount or something) was sent ?
Other similar threads on efile confirmation for Turbotax desktop users seem to indicate other than emails there is no confirmation number nor anything to indicate a specific return was sent and acknowledged as received by IRS or state DOR. Can a Turbotax expert please confirm for Desktop users specifically as this doesn't seem to have been clarified anywhere?
Below are messages in Efile status history after the initial 3 or 4 indicating the return has been received for state (no mention of federal):
The Intuit Electronic Filing Center did not find any record with this Social Security Number or Employee Identification number.
