How to Verify Your Return Was Filed and Obtain Proof of Acceptance
To file a return in TaxAct, you must complete the filing steps from within your return. To file your TaxAct return, go to our File My Return with TaxAct FAQ. After you submit your TaxAct return, you should receive an email within 24-48 hours indicating that your return has been received by TaxAct and submitted to the IRS. Later, you will receive a second e-mail indicating whether your return was accepted or rejected.
It is your responsibility to ensure your return is accepted by the IRS or state agency. If you do not receive an email confirmation or acceptance, you can check the status of your electronically filed returns using the TaxAct e-File and Tax Refund Status webpage.
Proof of Acceptance
If you need proof that your tax return was successfully submitted and accepted by the IRS, use the acceptance email you received after your return was filed.
The acceptance email contains a Submission ID and confirmation that the IRS has received and accepted your return. This email serves as proof of electronic filing and acceptance. If you need a paper copy, simply print the email for your records or to provide to a third party.
