You and millions of other filed before the IRS opened on 1/26 to start accepting and rejecting e-files.   It may take several days for the IRS to clear out the backlog of e-files.   Watch your emails.

 

When you e-file your return you will get two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say your return has been transmitted; the second one will tell you the IRS has accepted  or rejected your federal e-file.  If you filed a state return, there will be a third email (usually a day or two later) that tells you if the state e-file was accepted or rejected.

 

Check your e-file status:
