Do I have to pay a penalty for late tax return when I thought I had completed it online before the deadline?

If you do not have taxes owed or are receiving a tax refund there are no penalties for filing a tax return after the due date.

If taxes are owed then you needed to file the tax return on or before July 15, 2020 to avoid failure to file and failure to pay penalties.

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.
