I attempted to e-file my taxes yesterday (I already paid the estimated tax back on April 15). But TurboTax was stuck on fixing an error on my Schedule C, in which TurboTax insisted that I remove uneccessary characters from two of the blank lines in that schedule. The lines were blank on my screen, but but every time I attempted to e-file, TurboTax would not let the e-file go through and kept asking me to re-check my Federal return. Near midnight deadline, I went back and redid the Schedule C on TurboTax, and finally, around 12:30 a.m. on October 16, the e-file went through.
However, before the e-file went through, a message appeared on a screen on TurboTax stating that e-filing was closed for the season as of the October 15 -- just a half-an-hour before, and that I would have to mail my return.
But I also received email confirmations in my inbox (date-stamped October 16, 12:30 a.m.) from TurboTax entitled, "In Progress: Your TurboTax Return Status." And shows that my state and Federal returns were sent.
So, I did those returns really get e-filed? Or, do I have to snail mail my returns?
