Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted? You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. 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 find how Line 6b on Form 1040 is calculated for your particular return, look at the Social Security Benefits Worksheet.  If you're using TurboTax Online, you will need to pay for your return, then save a PDF copy 'with all forms and worksheets' to view this worksheet.    In TurboTax Desktop, in FORMS, you can open the form to view it.  Anywhere from 0 to 85% of your Social Security benefit can be taxable, depending on what other income you have.  Make sure you've entered all your income.   Here's more info on Is My Social Security Taxable?   @Ejsantarelli       

The payment you received for the easement is for you granting the right to the payor to use your property for certain uses such as a right-of-way for utility lines.  Those payments are not a "sale" but compensation for use of your property for their intended purposes.  The payment qualifies as a reduction in basis to your property and will not be taxable as long as the basis of the property is zero or greater.   As a simple example, let's say that you own a single family home on a residential lot that you bought for $100,000 - that would be the basis in your home.  If you received an easement payment of $10,000, that get's subtracted from the $100,000 basis to get your adjusted basis of $90,000.  Once you sell your property, you'll use this basis (along with other adjustments to it) to determine the gain on sale.   Here's how to enter the 1099-S in TurboTax online:   Click on Federal on the left side menu, then Income, then Wages and Income Summary.
