Paying the TurboTax fee does not file your tax return. After paying the fee you have to continue through the filing section of the interview until you got to the screen with the big orange button that says "Transmit Returns Now," and click that button. After clicking the transmit button you should have gotten two emails, one telling you that your tax return was transmitted, and later another one telling you that your return was either accepted or rejected. If you did not click the orange "Transmit Returns Now" button, you did not file your tax return.
