If you e-filed it you cannot cancel it.  E-filing is just like putting in a U.S. mailbox on the corner--once you do that, you cannot get it back.

 

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:
