My 2023 tax return shows "Printed" but not accepted by IRS. I got an email saying no action needed. Please confirm, if it’s filed or what to do next?

2022 was accepted, but there is no data about 2023, and i did the same process with both.

"Printed" means it was not e-filed.    If you chose to file by mail, you had to print it, sign it in ink and mail it yourself.  TurboTax does not mail tax returns for you.

 

E-filing is closed for 2023, so you now need to print it, sign and date it in ink, and mail it to the IRS (and state).

 

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

 

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
