Why would that be? i’ve tried calling but they play games on the phone and dont transfer you to a live agent. Please advise Reply What if your return was free and you dont owe any fees? Will it still be held? If so why? Doesn’t make much sense. Reply Question: Filed complete state and federal forms-but still getting emails saying I should file taxes Reply Hello Elaine Marx, You can check the status of your electronically filed tax return here: https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/. If your status shows accepted, then your taxes have been submitted for the year. Thank you, TurboTax Brittany Reply How to get my payment for turbotax fees taking out of my refund? Reply You only paid for your Federal return the first time, the State fees were the cost to purchase the Turbo Tax software, even if done online. The second time you had to pay for Turbo Tax to submit your state return electronically, which the program doesnt charge you for on your Federal return. If you filed the State return by mailing it in it would have not cost anything when you actually filed it (2nd time). As for not receiving the State return by 3 weeks, every state is different and Turbo Tax on proclaims that you will receive your Federal return within 2-3 weeks in 9 out of 10 cases. Anyway, I hope I helped clarify things a little and also hope you have received your state return by now as its been almost 3 more weeks since you asked this question. Good luck and enjoy your day and many happy returns!
