My taxes have not been filed! I choose e-file and I have a pin number. Can you clarify the status of my taxes? And what can I do now?

I don't know the status of my tax returns.  I don't think they were filed.  Help me with the statusus of my returns and tell me what to do now.

No one here can check the status of your e-filed return.  You can check your e-file status in the program, it show your return is accepted, rejected, or no return filed.

How do I check my e-file status?

Sign onto your TurboTax online account, the status of the tax returns will be shown - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

See this TurboTax support FAQ for checking you e-file status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/check-e-file-status/L1nnjvC5g...

Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted?

You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large button labeled "Transmit my returns now".

"....I have a PIN number..."   Did you enter the PIN?

If you have a 6 digit PIN issued to you by the IRS you need to enter it in order to e-file.  Go to Federal>Other Tax Situations>Other Return Info>Identity Protection PIN and enter the six-digit PIN.

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.
