Changing file status from mail to E file

How do I change my status from ready to mail to E file?

 

I've seen other articles about click on the FILE menu, and in the drop down menu choose Electronic Filing.    but I do not see that on my home page. 

 

I only have READY TO MAIL status. Any help? 

 

Do I have to amend my return and start all over?

As long as you haven't mailed your tax returns into the IRS, you can still change to e-file. Please see the TurboTax FAQ How do I change from mail to e-file in TurboTax Online? for instructions.
