TurboTax Online cannot submit your return for e-filing until you initiate that action. In TurboTax Online, the step that transmits your return is the final, third step in the "File" section, where you must click the large button labeled "Transmit my returns now" after reviewing your details. This happens after completing federal review, selecting payment methods for fees, and authorizing the e-filing. See this help article.   Once you submit your return in TurboTax Online, you'll see its status on the Tax Home screen of your account. We'll also send you emails letting you know when your e-file status changes. Wait until you receive confirmation that the return has been processed (refund issued or payment processed) before attempting to access it in TurboTax.   To access your tax return after you've e-filed it, or printed it as part of mailing your return to the IRS:   Sign in to TurboTax. Select Tax Home from the menu. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents. Select 2025, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you back in). You'll now be in your return. See this help article. You can visit the IRS Where's My Refund? site to check if your e-filed return has been received.

Except that Intuit absolutely didn't notify all their customers. I've had an Intuit account for years and have used TT for my taxes for over 20 years. I received no notification whatsoever, and the description on Amazon (where I downloaded this year's version) made no mention of this decreased functionality. I just arrived at the "entering charitable donations" part of my taxes and I'm now looking at hours of extra work.

I've been advised that the section of TurboTax that supports CSV files is in the process of being updated but is currently unavailable. The update may be coming in about a week.

If you've sold all (or some) of your shares of your S corporation, you'll start by entering this in the same K-1 income screens you enter for this business yearly. During the questions about your S corp K-1, the software will ask this question (see below) answer yes and select Continue:     (This means your share in the S corp ended, not necessarily the entire business itself, fyi.)   On the following screen, answer "[x] I sold it outright (complete disposition)" if you sold all your S corp shares:     Select Continue, and answer all questions RE: proceeds, expenses, original purchase date, and basis, of your S corp stock sale.

I have the same issue and the same hesitation. I even saw others' feedback elsewhere that says after they filed the extension, they are not able to efile their taxes!  Why doesn't it say "transmit your extension filing"?  This is not the return and there's no reason for TurboTax to detect that the return is ready to submit as the AI chatbot suggests. It's nearly blank! I will go elsewhere before I use it like this!

Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted? Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.   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 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.

To see what is causing your return to be rejected and find out how to fix it:   Sign in to your account Select the Fix my return button Follow any “fix it” instructions to update the information causing the rejection.   What does my rejected return code mean and how do I fix it?
