If you are getting a refund, there is no penalty for filing late. If you owe tax due, then file and pay the amount due as shown on the Form 1040, but expect a bill later from the IRS for the penalty and interest you will owe. Only the IRS will calculate this—TurboTax will not calculate it.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

Well....TTX shut everything down on the night of 31 October to start archiving all the 2021 tax files, and transition the software to 2022. So your file may be locked up right now.
___________________
Sometime in the next 1-4 weeks, after all the files have been archived, you should be able to get to a PDF download for your 2021 tax files, in the "Your tax returns & documents" section, when a 2021 tab selection should appear (right now, the tabs only go up to 2020....though that may vary depending on the progress of the archiving process...mine only show up to 2020 right now)

I don't want to print it, I want to modify it. I have not filed yet.

Sadly, you will have to wait until the return is unlocked and then you must use the CD/download on a full PC or Mac in order to make changes to the return. You will not be able to make any more changes using the online software. You cannot e-file. The return can only be filed by mail now.
