After you file
Since the state return cannot be efiled before the federal has been accepted if you waited until the last day to file it is possible the state did not get sent on the last day ... acceptance of the federal return can sometimes take days which can make the return technically late.
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.
Your return's electronic filing status history records all e-filing activity related to the return, including the Electronic Postmark. You can print it out if needed.
