Any forms filed with your tax return should be kept in the tax file in the business records. As long as you have the forms you uploaded that's what's important. You can always contact the IRS or create a business account that allows access to view the business information. The business transcripts may possibly show these forms on file.  IRS Business Tax Account An authorized person for the company can also call at some point to confirm the forms are part of the return that was e-filed.  TurboTax is required to meet certain IRS requirements to be allowed to e-file returns.

@Susanbfraley wrote: Change payment date to May 1,2025 If you filed your tax return and have federal taxes owed and were paying with direct debit from your bank account and now want to change the date of payment, you will have to cancel the payment.   Go to this IRS website for how to cancel a federal tax payment - https://www.irs.gov/payments/pay-taxes-by-electronic-funds-withdrawal   Once your return is accepted, information pertaining to your payment, such as account information, payment date, or amount, cannot be changed. If changes are needed, the only option is to cancel the payment and choose another payment method. Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 888-353-4537 to inquire about or cancel your payment, but please wait 7 to 10 days after your return was accepted before calling. Cancellation requests must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. ET two business days prior to the scheduled payment date. After the payment has been cancelled use the IRS payment website to pay the taxes owed - https://www.irs.gov/payments   Tax payments made after the due date of the tax return are subject to penalties and interest on the unpaid balance.

Open your tax file and go to File. Proceed to the screen, "Review Your Federal Filing Choices". Review your Identifying Information (AGI).

The W-4 he gives to his employer only tells the employer how much tax to withhold from his paychecks.  That form does not go to the IRS and does not dictate how you have to file your tax return.    His tax withholding will be different.  What is important is to file correctly using the correct filing status.   You have both been making big mistakes by filing as single.  Whether it has been to your advantage financially, whether you have "double dipped" by using the same itemized deductions,  or whether you have kind of shot yourselves in the foot many times is impossible to know since we have no idea what kind of income you have had or if you have missed out on child-related credits, etc.

This is not supported in the TurboTax program online or desktop.    The software does not handle situations where there are multiple distributions in the same year related to different disasters.   The full list of situations that TurboTax does not handle can be found HERE.   @SueParker 

No.  Please note that you may not claim your child as a qualifying child for the EIC on either your original or an amended return if your child doesn't have an SSN on or before the due date of your return (including extensions), even if your child later gets an SSN

@Amysteria I appreciate your work, and I know this is probably a crazy time for you and your team, but it's too late. I mailed my state return this morning. What I'd really like, is help recovering the $63 that I paid Intuit to file my state taxes. Is that something you could assist me with?

It is transmitted with your return to the IRS.  TurboTax does not take the payment out.  The IRS does.  So you will need to watch your bank for when they take the payment out. TurboTax has no knowledge, update or information on the payment after it is transmitted to the IRS. 

The IRS is usually pretty good about refunding duplicate payments fairly soon after their systems process them automatically.  It's not often that I refer to them as efficient- but this process typically works well.   Typically, you do not need to do anything to initiate the refund.   However, you can reach out to the IRS e-file payment services team if you'd like at 888-353-4537 if you'd like or if you don't receive a refund check within about 2 weeks.    When you receive the K-3, you can amend the return if there is material information that you need to report.  How to file an Amended Tax Return

A State tax return cannot be e-filed if the federal return has not been e-filed and accepted by the IRS.   Did you get an email from TurboTax indicating that the federal tax return was filed and another email indicating the federal tax return was Accepted by the IRS.  These would be specifically for the federal tax return, NOT the extension request for the federal tax return.

It appears NYS is satisfied with the return and you do not need to take action on your part. You may wish, however, to contact NYS to see if you need to submit additional documents.  Other than that, it sounds like you do not have any additional filing requirements.
