Only you can initiate e-filing of a tax return and only you can print out a copy of the tax return.
TurboTax is tax preparation software to assist the user of the software to complete and file their self-prepared tax return.
TurboTax is not a paid tax professional who has access to and can e-file your tax return for you.
Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted?
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 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.
Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund. Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.
