Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted?

In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large button labeled "Transmit my returns now".   After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.   Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.   To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product. If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...   After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

thx for confirming that this is issue on desktop version.  some people suggested that I could buy desktop version to directly edit the education worksheet. this also confirms that it is a bug in TurboxTax 2025. It is also a big disappointment that how TurboTax tested their software before releasing, they did not even listen to user's feedback.

The TurboTax desktop editions can complete an unlimited number of tax returns.  However, only 5 free federal e-files are included with the software.  Any returns beyond the 5 have to be printed and mailed.

To check the status of your return, you should use the Where’s My Refund Website.   There may be several reasons that your return may be delayed.  If you filed for Child Tax Credit, or Earned Income Credit, there will be a delay. The IRS has also offered guidance on what may cause delays. Things that can delay a return 

Thanks @Mike9241    Couple of questions   When you say I can Zero out GLD gain or loss in 8949D, how do I do it? should I match proceed amount same as cost basis for each transaction so net is Zero? T will go into which box of 8949D?   Last thing you mentioned that I need to disclose that I am moving GLD options from 8949 to  6781 as 1256 contract, how do I do it within Turbo tax as turbo tax  CD version does not allow any attachment or explanation sheets? Not sure if same is the case with Turbo Tax online version?
