Will I receive email confirmation that my federal, New York and New Jersey tax return are accepted?

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.

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here?  

https://www.irs.gov/refunds         

  Or does your account say “Ready to Mail?”

Note:  If it says “Ready to Mail” or “Printed” that means YOU have to mail it yourself.  TurboTax does not mail your tax return for you.

To check the status of your returns, sign into your TurboTax account using the same credentials used to file your tax returns and go to Tax Home (located in the menu on the left side of the screen).

This screen will show you the status of your returns which will either be pending, rejected, or accepted.  

Please see this FAQ to guide you on how to check the status of your returns once they have been accepted.
