I'm am trying to determine if my taxes were actually filed. I paid the fee already?

Was your return accepted for processing? Check here first:

If IRS filing accepted for processing, check IRS Refund Tracking

To contact TT Live Support (one-on-one help, which you’re apparently paying for) :

Paying the fee does not file your return.

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?”
