I just filed taxes. I just want to make sure it went through.
The message says:
Way to go, you filed your 2019 taxes. But it says that i need to send in my return. Is that something required or am i already in the irs system?

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

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.

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 it says Printed or Ready to Mail you can try to change it from Mail to Efile

Thanks for helping me out!

I got to the screen that says:
Way to go, x! You filed your 2019 taxes.

I have $0 refund. So i want to know if it's required that i send in my return or i can just leave it how it is?

Yes you still have to file a return even with 0 refund or tax due. But did you efile? Or does it say you Printed it or it's Ready to Mail? Did you try to Efile? Check my links above.
