How can I find out if last years mailed filing was accepted?

I filed by mail last year with an extension. I looked in my turbo tax documents and I see that all of the income info is blank. How do I verify that it was accepted by the IRS. I think turbo tax just had a glitch

If you mailed a return it does not get Accepted or Rejected. They process all mailed returns. Where are you looking on Turbo Tax? Are you in the right account?

It's common to end up with multiple accounts. First LOG OUT of whatever TurboTax account you're logged into right now. Then use this TurboTax account recovery website to get a list of user ID's for an email address. Run the tool against any email addresses you may have used

"filed by mail last year with an extension"

It's not clear what that means. Did you print and mail the return and extension at the same time? Or are you saying you first timely filed an extension, then later you filed the return by printing and mailing it?

If you have a copy of your 2022 return (or can get one if you discover you have more than one account), if you were due a Federal refund for 2022, you can use the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool to check on a 2022 refund.

In any case (whether a refund or taxes were due), if you have an IRS account, or wish to open one, you can look at your 2022 tax return transcript.

you can call the IRS or see if it has a transcript of your 2022 return. if you were due a refund you can check the the refund status page.
