Does the free online version advise you if a form was e-filed?

Attempting to file with Free version. States I have to mail Fed, but my state can be e-filed.  Yet, when I attempt to try to file, I get caught in a loop stating I have to correct the Federal form lines 15, 21, 28, 36, 39, & 46.  The only income I have is my Social Security. yet it seems it wants more info and there is no way to correct this form.

You cannot efile a state unless you efile the federal return.

If your ONLY income is SS benefits then you cannot efile a federal zero income return AND you are not required to file a federal return.  Check with your state to see if you need to file a state return at all either.
