If you filed by mail

• The Instructions for Filing printout will tell you where to mail your return.

• Don't forget to sign your return!
• After signing, make sure you make a copy of the return for your records, either by using a copy machine or by clicking the File tab and then choosing Print/Save for Your Records below it.

If you e-filed

• Shortly after transmitting your return, you'll get a confirmation e-mail from the Intuit Electronic Filing Center.
• If your return did not transmit, try again. Also see Resolve E-filing Transmission Issues.
• Within 24-48 hours after transmission, you should get a second e-mail confirming acceptance or rejection of your e-filed return.
  • You can also check your return's status by opening it, clicking the Print & File tab, and then clicking Check E-file Status below it.
• If accepted, follow the onscreen instructions to print a copy for your records.
• If rejected, follow the onscreen instructions to fix the error and then re-transmit your return, or print and mail your return instead.

To prepare your Business state return, start by clicking the State Taxes tab and following the onscreen instructions. You'll be prompted to purchase and download your state program(s) online, if you haven't already done so.

Note: TurboTax Business supports many, but not all, business state entities. Click here for the list of states NOT supported.

When you get ready to file your state return, be aware that a growing number of states require that you e-file business returns, whereas other states do not support e-filed business returns. Your TurboTax program will let you know which method(s) are available, or you can click here for the list of "e-fileable" states.

The procedure for filing state returns in TurboTax Business is identical to the federal filing procedure outlined above; simply click the File tab and follow the on-screen instructions.
