Check the TT file again closely ... was the return actually accepted or was it rejected ? Look thru it for a sheet labeled "Electronic Postmark - Certification of Electronic Filing" .
That sheet tells you when you E-filed your "Federal" tax return electronically, and when it was accepted.......assuming you did file electronically and not by mail. Of course, filling out your tax forms is not the same as completing them, and then actually filing them. After e-filing them, you always should return to the software a few days later to make sure they were "Accepted" and not Rejected.
If it was accepted then you should wait for the IRS to process it. The IRS transcript will not show it until it is fully processed.
You can call them to get a progress report ... if you can ever get thru to a human.
If it was rejected then you can mail in the return now.
