Where can I find an e-file confirmation page that contains the filing number?

E-filed tax returns using TurboTax do not have filing numbers
Use this TurboTax website for the status of an e-filed tax return - <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/">https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/</a>

Your return's electronic filing status history records all e-filing activity related to the return, including the Electronic Postmark. You can print it out if needed. 

TurboTax Online

https://shop.turbotax.intuit.com/efile/efile_status_lookup.jsp  -- enter the Social Security number of the first taxpayer on the return and the ZIP code to retrieve your filing status history.


TurboTax CD/Download software

(Windows) From the TurboTax File menu, select Electronic Filing > Show Electronic Filing Status History.
(Mac) From the TurboTax File menu, select Check E-Filing Status.

If you used the online program AND you did not save a PDF of the return with the worksheets BEFORE 10/31/22  THEN   you will have to wait until the 2022 online program opens up in early December to get the PDF with the worksheets included.   

 

Show him the email confirmation ... that should work for now until you can get the PDF in a couple of weeks.

I did savea .pdf but I see nothing that identifies itself as a Confirmation.  Can you give me some information that will help me to identify it.  I searched the .pdf file but that did not produce any results.

Once you get them printed (or created as a PDF file)  Look thru it for a sheet labeled "Electronic Postmark - Certification of Electronic Filing" .

 

That sheet tells you when you E-filed your "Federal" tax return electronically, and when it was accepted.......assuming you did file electronically and not by mail.
