After you e-file your return, it's considered "pending". After the IRS processes your return, it'll either be accepted or rejected.
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.
You can visit the IRS Where's My Refund? site to check if your e-filed return has been received.
If you don't see an e-file status for your return in TurboTax Online, you may have filed your return in a different account or using a different method.
If you used TurboTax Desktop:
Select File.
Select Check E-file status.
