I files after doing my taxes twice last Saturday.   Why did I have to find out IRS did not get the files until February 3rd, 2026,  I had already received a notice January 31 that it has been accepted.  What is going on???

    Did you e-file?   Did you go through all three steps of the FILE section and click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”

     

     

    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:
