Paying the fee does not file your tax return. You have to go all the way through the FILE section and click a big orange button that says "Transmit my returns now" in order to e-file. If you did not do that, then you did not file your tax return. Or if it was rejected and you did not follow up and fix it or mail it it was not filed.
Go through ALL the steps of the FILE section to the orange button to e-file. You can still e-file until October 15, 2020. Then watch your emails.
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.
