Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

2018 I used TT online. When I return to view it, it says In Progress. Is the only way to "complete" it to file and pay again? Obviously I don't want to do that.

The online account indicating In Progress would mean that the tax return has not have been filed.  Did you e-file or print and mail the tax return?

 

Use this TurboTax website to check the status of an e-filed return and if it was either accepted or rejected - https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

 

If the website indicates anything other than Accepted then the tax return was not e-filed.  If you did not print and mail the tax return then go back to the online tax return and e-file the return.  If you have paid the TurboTax account fees with a credit card you will not be asked to pay again.

 

When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state.  

This will take you back to the 2018 online tax return.

  1. Select File in the left-hand menu (expand your browser window if you don't see this, or go to the hamburger menu in the top left corner).
  2. On the Just one more step screen, follow steps 1 and 2 if you haven't already.
  3. Select the Start button to the right of Step 3.
  4. On the Let's get ready to e-file screen, select I want to e-file.
  5. Follow the instructions to e-file your return.

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 Orange 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.
