    We do not call users so,  no, we will not call you.  Paying your fees did not file your tax return.   If you did not go all the way through the FILE section and click the big orange button that said "Transmit my returns now" then your tax return was not 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.

     

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

    https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

    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.

     

     

     

    If you realize that you did not file your return or that it was rejected then the only way to file it now is by mail.

     

    When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

    Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
