If you e-filed the return already ***AND*** it was accepted by the IRS, fire up the TurboTax Business program on your windows computer and open the return. In the upper right of the program click the "FORMS" icon in the blue field to switch to forms mode.

In the left pane scroll all the way to the bottom to see "Postmark Report" and click on that to display the "Electronic Postmark - Certification of Electronic Filing". Print that report, as it's the proof you need to show when the IRS accepted your e-filed return.

Also, the due date of a corporate return was march 15 2020. While the date for personal 1040 tax returns was extended to July 15th, all other types of returns were NOT extended. So your 1102-S Corporate tax return was due on March 15th.

There is no such form in TurboTax Business.

IF not that, does the "Business" version have the Electronic filing history thru one of the dropdown file menu selections? That would give E-filing dates...

@SteamTrain

In fact, yes, the TurboTax Business does indeed have the dropdown in the file menu which provides electronic filing dates and relevant actions (for example, my test returns show the dates and times the returns were rejected).
