This year if you used the Desktop CD/Download program you can't use the efile lookup tool. You have to look up the status inside your return.
To check the filing status,
In the Desktop program open your return and go up to menu item
File > Electronic Filing > Check Electronic Filing Status
You can also check the efile History. So look at that also.
And if you switch to Forms there is an Electronic Postmark Page for Federal. There should be a similar one for state. Look around. What state? California has a form 8453 for it.
