I’ve always mailed in paper tax returns without any problems. This year, though, I’m considering e-filing due to all of the processing issues brought on by the pandemic.
I tried to find information on related websites, but didn’t have much luck. So, I’m wondering if any of you folks that use TurboTax to e-file would briefly describe the process. Some things I wonder about:

- Do you have to set up an account or accounts with the IRS and TurboTax first?
- Does e-filing mean that TurboTax/Intuit has a copy somewhere on their servers? (That would kind of creep me out a bit)
- Do you get a receipt that the return was accepted? Something to print out, I assume?
- Also, do you e-file your state return? I believe this costs extra, how much?
