Paying your TurboTax fee does not file your tax return. YOU have to go all the way through the FILE section and click a big orange button that says "Transmit my return now." If you did not do that then your tax return was not e-filed. Or if it rejected, you have to correct the reason for the rejection and re-submit it --- or print, sign and mail the return.
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?
