Turbo tax had me register my return did this automatically file my return?

No.  Registering the Free online edition does not file your tax return.

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.

NO.  Your return is not e-filed until you go all the way through the FILE section and click a big orange button that says "Transmit my return now."
