How does efile work

How do i know if my file has been efiled

[Rachel_W · Accepted solution]

When you E-File, your return is sent electronically directly from TurboTax to the IRS (and your State Tax Department if applicable).  E-filing makes things very efficient and cuts down on a lot of clerical errors.

To ensure that you have submitted your taxes for E-File successfully, please click this TurboTax link to check your status: https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/wheres-my-refund/.  (If you e-filed a joint return, make sure you are using the taxpayer information of the first filer listed on the return.)
