I'm looking for the same information.  I'd like to change my tax payment date and I can't find the confirmation number in order to look up my payment details on irs.gov.  Is this a turbo tax confirmation number?  Please advise?  Thanks

Once you leave the IRS direct pay application you are not able to get your confirmation number.

"I lost my Direct Pay confirmation number, can I retrieve it? 
Unfortunately, the Direct Pay application cannot currently retrieve your confirmation number once you leave the application.  Ref:  Additional Information on IRS Direct Pay

@usernameishere If you are needing to confirm your direct debit date, please follow the instructions below: 

  1. Open your return if it's not already open.
  2. On the Tax Home screen with the amount of your refund and status, scroll down and select Add a State (don't worry, we're not adding a state) to access your tax forms and worksheets.
  3. In the left menu, select Tax Tools then Print Center.
  4. On the TurboTax Print Center screen, select Print, save or preview this year's return.
  5. On the next TurboTax Print Center screen, select 2019 federal returns and Include Government and TurboTax Worksheets (optional), then select View or Print Forms.
  6. The information will be on the first page, Electronic Filing Instructions for your 2019 Federal Tax Return next to Balance Due/Refund."

Only you can file it.  When did you file?  Did you efile?   Was it Accepted?

 

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

 

If you used the Online version you can check your efile status here     

https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   

 

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.  And check your spam folder for them.

 

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?

if you mean your Refund, it is taking the IRS 6 months or more to send it.  Longer if you mailed your tax return.


If your return was Accepted or mailed then check IRS Where's my refund
https://www.irs.gov/refunds/

When will you get your refund?

If you need to find your payment confirmation, you can follow these steps in TurboTax online:

 

  1. Select Add a State (don't worry, we're not adding a state).  This will allow you to access your return.
  2. Select Tax Tools in the Print Center in the left menu.
  3. Select Print, save or preview this year's return on the TurboTax Print Center screen.
  4. On the next TurboTax Print Center screen, select 2022 federal returns, Include Government and TurboTax Worksheets (optional), and then select View or Print Forms.
  5. The information will be on the first page, Electronic Filing Instructions for your 2022 Federal Tax Return, next to Balance Due/Refund."

If you neglected to write down your IRS Direct Pay Confirmation number when you scheduled your tax payment just call the ESTPS department at(888)353-4537.  Have all the relevant details of your scheduled payment available (date when payment scheduled, date of when payment is scheduled, amount of payment, routing #, account #, and your SS#).  The helpful representative will give you a cancelation # which you should write down because they don't send a confirmation email with the relevant information.  I'm retired so I had hours to burn in discovering this well hidden information which should have been available in QB IMHO.
