I efile federal today , got an email message that my return was transmitted and accepted by IRS . i went to the irs web site that confirms my return to check status . I am glad I have a pdf copy that showed the return was electronic transmitted .

however on my Desktop app says that I have not filed . I am confused of the status and how it will effect me . Any insights would be much appreciated

You just e-filed today? You are expecting the IRS to show information on the refund site too soon. Give the IRS a couple of days and then you can check the refund site.

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 35a of your 2021 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

To track your state refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

Sorry for the misunderstanding , I have no issues with irs , the issue is with turbo app stating that I did not Efile yet while it did.

My tax return on the app does not have a efiled status . Just waiting to Be Filed

Did you e-file? Did you click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”

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.

TurboTax does not have a desktop app. It has a desktop program that can be downloaded to a desktop or installed from a CD.. The app is for a tablet or mobile phone. If you filed from a desktop you either used the desktop version or the online version. Check the program that you filed from.

Correct ... if you filed from the online program and it was accepted then transferred the return to the downloaded version it will NOT have the acceptance information ... the programs do not communicate that way.
