Do I send anything in to the IRS or the state after my e-filed return has been accepted?

Menu Path: Final Steps > Step 3 - Submit Tax Return > Check Status/Print Tax Return

Usually not. Sign in to your account and go to the View Return Status and Print Your Copy screen, and that screen will have specific information for your account. Almost always, there is nothing to mail to the IRS when you e-file. Keep your W-2 forms, 1099 forms, and other tax records with a copy of your tax return for at least four years after you file in case the IRS ever audits you or mails you a letter asking for information.

For most states, there is nothing to mail when you e-file. You never mail W-2 or 1099 forms to states when you e-file. Occasionally a state will want some other type of information mailed to them to support a tax credit or deduction. Any specific information like that would be shown in your account on the View Return Status and Print Your Copy screen.
