EDIT NOTE: My original comment below was for if you are getting an error message preventing you from efiling. If you are simply wanting to change filing methods from "file by mail" to efiling, the following doesn't apply. In that latter case see Champ ee-ea's answer above.

Original comment:

Please provide more info:

Are you using Online TurboTax or desktop software (CD/download)?
Do you get that message when efiling a Federal return, state return, or both?
What exactly is the error message?
When you go through the REVIEW tab, is there any clue?

Oh, maybe I misinterpreted your initial question. I thought you had a situation you encountered where it wouldn't let you efile.

If you simply need to know how to change the filing method from "file by mail" to efile, see the answer left for you by Champ @ee-ea above.

The answer I left above was if you were getting an error preventing you from efiling.
