After you file

You efiled and it didn’t get Accepted?   Maybe  you didn’t go all the way to the end and hit the Transmit Returns Now button.   Did you also do a state return? Then that wasn’t filed either.   Did you have a Refund or tax due?  You never noticed you didn’t get the refund or a tax due wasn’t paid?

It may be too late to check back through your emails.   When you efile you get back 2 emails.  The first email only confirms the transmission.  The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile.  And check your spam folder for them.

 

You may be able to check the filing status in the program.   

Open your return and go up to menu item

File > Electronic Filing > Check Electronic Filing Status

 

If you efiled, In the PDF of your TurboTax return, the last page of the federal return should be an "electronic postmark" that shows your name, Social Security number, the date and time that you e-filed the return, and the date that the IRS accepted it.
