How are you checking the status in the software? Are you checking your efile status in the desktop program this way? This is for the Windows version. The Mac version may vary.
Launch TurboTax, and open your return.
Then in the top left corner of the TurboTax screen click on the FILE menu, and in the dropdown menu choose "Electronic Filing." Then in the next menu choose "Check electronic filing status." What does it return?
If it says "accepted" there, then SAVE the return.
Did you also efile a state return? If so, has it been accepted?
