There is no e-file charge using the TurboTax online editions. The TurboTax account fees are for the use of the software to assist in completing a tax return. The account fees are the same whether a tax return is e-filed or printed.
Paying the TurboTax account fees does not file a tax return.
Did you e-file your state tax return and was it accepted?
You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large Orange button labeled "Transmit my returns now".
After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.
To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product.
What is the status of the state tax return? If the status is anything other than Accepted the tax return was not e-filed. If you did not print and mail the state tax return then the return has not been filed.
