I was instructed by turbo tax to send my "ready to mail" state tax to the IRS in Fresno California. I havent heard a word since. Can some one tell me what's happening?

TurboTax will not know anything about your mailed return, and will continue to show “Ready to Mail” on your account.  TurboTax will not know that you put your tax return in an envelope and took it to a mailbox.  TurboTax does not get updates on mailed returns.  Wait about 4 weeks from when you mail a return and then you can check the status on the IRS site. https://www.irs.gov/refunds

In the future, if you mail a tax return (or a payment) to the IRS, it is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it like UPS or certified mail so you will know it was received.

One thing--I just re-read your question.  The IRS deals with federal returns--not state returns.  If you mailed a STATE return, what state was it for and where did you mail it?   If you really mailed a state tax return to the Internal Revenue Service the IRS would just toss it.

TT would not tell you to file a california return by mail with the IRS in Fresno Ca.   that's the mailing address for a federal return for which no payment is due.
