@ChungNakila Unless you e-filed your 2019 return or printed and mailed it yourself, the return was not filed at all. TurboTax does not mail your tax return for you. Only you can e-file or mail your return. Paying your fee does not file the 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 your account for that 2019 return does not say that the return was accepted, then you did not file the return. The only way a 2019 return can be filed now is by mail. You have to print it, sign it in ink and mail it in. And if you did not pay your tax due then your interest and penalties have been adding up. The IRS will bill you for that amount after they receive your tax return and payment.
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.
As for your stimulus checks........The way to get the stimulus amounts now is to prepare and file a 2020 return and use the recovery rebate credit. The stimulus checks are based on your 2020 return now, not your 2019 return.
The stimulus check is an advance on a credit you can receive on your 2020 tax return. If something went wrong or you did not get the stimulus check in 2020, you can get it when you file your 2020 return in early 2021
The Recovery Rebate Credit will be found in the FEDERAL REVIEW section. ( you should see "Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount”) If you are eligible it will end up on line 30 of your 2020 Form 1040.
Make sure that you enter ALL of the stimulus money received for the 1st and 2nd stimulus for yourself, your spouse and your children.
