how do I know if my taxes have been filed

[just me and my shadow]

How do I know when my taxes have been filed? I completed everything and paid for it but I don;t know if they were filed or not.  It's getting later and later and I don't want penalties. I  never got an email saying they were accepted and I finished May 16th.

Thank you,

Betsy

Did you go all the way through the File tab, through the 3 steps and hit the big orange Transmit Returns Now button?

You can check your efile status here,

When you efile you get back 2 emails. The first email only confirms the transmission. The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile.

When you log into your account you should also see the status and if it was Accepted or Rejected, Started, Printed, Ready to Mail, etc. What does it say?
