After you file
Paying your TurboTax fees did not file your tax return. Did you go all the way through the FILE section and click that big orange button that said "Transmit my tax returns?" If you did not do that, then your return was not e-filed. Look and see if your account says "Accepted", "Rejected", "ready to mail", or "printed," and if it says anything other than "Accepted" it was not e-filed. It is too late to e-file a 2022 return. It can only be filed by mail now. Print, sign and date the return in ink, and mail it in.
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.
