I filled the Tax forms out but in top left it still doesn't say filed, it says (In Progress)...why is this? Now am I too late to file this year or whats happening?

So are my taxes just getting re-checked because why does it still say in progress and not signed?

We cannot see your screen, your tax return or your account, so not sure what you are looking at or what all you have done.

 

Did you e-file?  Did you click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”

 

When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.

 

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here? 

https://www.irs.gov/refunds        

 

  Or does your account say “Ready to Mail?”

 

Note: If it says “Ready to Mail” or “Printed” that means YOU have to mail it yourself.  TurboTax does not mail your tax return for you.
