If you can't find your client e-filing status:

1. Verify that their information is accurate in the return (if any information needs to be changed, you need to e-file again):
• Primary taxpayer's social security number (SSN)
• Primary taxpayer's last name
• Zip code
2. Verify that you successfully completed the e-filing process:
• You may have progressed as far as printing but have not actually submitted the return electronically.
• You may have unknowingly selected to paper file the return instead of electronically filing.
• You may have clicked Submit Later instead of Submit.

If it's been more than 24 hours, you haven't received an e-mail confirmation, and you can't find your client e-filing status, the return was not successfully e-filed. You need to e-file again.
