Do I need to mail my tax return?

I am a bit confused about the next steps for submitting my tax return. On the website, my status says "READY TO MAIL", but the tax return I downloaded includes "Electronic Filing Instructions for your 2024 Federal Tax Return."

Could you please clarify whether I need to mail my tax return, or if it has already been e-filed? I wanted to avoid any duplicate submissions. Thanks for your help!

If you haven't yet electronically filed your return then it is ready to print and mail. But if you file it electronically and submit it to the IRS then you don't need to mail it at all.
