After you file
Paying your fees did not file your tax return.
Did you e-file? Did you click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”
What does it say in your account? Does it say "Accepted?" or does it say something else-like "rejected," "Printed" or "ready to mail?"
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.
If it does not say "accepted" then your return was not filed successfully. The only way to file it now is to print it, sign it in ink and mail it in. E-filing is permanently closed for 2019 returns.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
