If you believe that you filed your taxes last year but there isn't a record of it and you are not getting any notices from the IRS would you worry about it?

If you filed a 2023 tax return there should be a record of it.   The IRS should have a transcript and you should see something on your IRS online account.   Should you worry?   If you filed and did not get your refund---seems like you would worry about that.  And if you owed tax due and think that you paid----would you like to know that the IRS says they received your payment --so that you do not get an unpleasant demand in the mail someday?

You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30, an actual copy of your tax return.

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:

If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here?

  Or does your account say “Ready to Mail?” Or “Rejected?” Or “Printed?”

Note:  If it says “Rejected,” “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 now that your return was not e-filed successfully, then you will need to file it by mail.  E-filing is permanently closed for past year returns.  You will need to print the return, sign and date it in ink, and mail it in.
