Paying your fee did not file your tax return.   You had to go all the way through the steps of the FILE section and click a big orange button that said "Transmit my returns now"----if you did not do that yourself, you did not e-file.   DID YOU E-FILE?   Did you e-file?   Did you go through all three steps of the FILE section and click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”     When you e-file your return you will get two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say your return has been transmitted; the second one will tell you the IRS has accepted  or rejected your federal e-file.  If you filed a state return, there will be a third email (usually a day or two later) that tells you if the state e-file was accepted or rejected.   Check your e-file status:   https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/    What does it say in your account?  Does it show that the return was accepted?   Or does it say something else---like "rejected," "printed," or "ready to mail?”   If you discover or realize that your e-file was rejected or just never filed, you will need to print it, sign and date it in ink, and file it by mail now, since e-filing is closed for returns for tax year 2024.    

Sorry---you can no longer use TurboTax to prepare a 2021 return.  2021 software is no longer available nor is it supported or provided with updates even if you can find it on eBay etc.   Any refund for tax year 2021 has been forfeited.   It is too late to get the 2021 stimulus money.   If you did not work----what income were you trying to enter on a 2021 return?  Were you receiving unemployment benefits?   Unemployment benefits can be taxable on your federal and on some state returns, so it is possible for you to owe.  If you owe, it will be with late filing penalties and interest.   You can use paper forms from the IRS to prepare a 2021 return, google other tax software that might still be available for 2021, or seek local paid tax help     Here is the IRS 2021 Form 1040 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040--2021.pdf or if you want bigger type use 1040SR for Seniors, https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s--2021.pdf   And 2021 Instructions https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040gi--2021.pdf 2021 Tax and EIC Tables https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040tt--2021.pdf Sch 1 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s1--2021.pdf Sch 2 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s2--2021.pdf Sch 3 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s3--2021.pdf      

    You do not get a "rebate" of the interest paid.  You do not pay tax on the amount of income equal to the car interest.  The interest goes on Schedule 1a.  The deduction appears on line 13b of your Form 1040.     TurboTax does not support Form 1040NR, so do not try to use TT.   Use its partner, Sprintax.   If you are a non-resident alien, your return must be filed on Form 1040NR, which cannot be prepared using TurboTax.  You can use TT’s partner, sprintax:   https://www.sprintax.com/non-resident-alien-tax-1040nr-turbotax.html   IRS —HOW TO DETERMINE RESIDENCY STATUS FOR TAX https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/determining-an-individuals-tax-residency-status#:~:text=If you are not a,January 1 – December 31).       HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD $23,625 (65 or older/legally blind + $2000)
