As you will see, a 2024 return can only be prepared in 2024 desktop software installed on a full computer or laptop--not on a tablet. A 2024 return cannot be efiled. It has to be printed, signed, dated, and mailed. It's recommended to mail by a method that has tracking, such as Priority Mail or certified return receipt, etc.
The Federal return is to be mailed to the IRS, and a state return (if applicable) should be mailed to the state tax agency. There should be a Filing Instructions page that will tell you how to do that.
If you are due a Federal refund, then approximately 4 weeks after mailing your return, it should start to show up in the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool, where you can monitor it.

You can purchase the 2024 software directly from TurboTax at the link provided in a comment above, or you may be able to find it at a discount at an authorized retailer such as Amazon. If buying from Amazon, be sure it is directly from Amazon itself and not a third-party seller. Here are the authorized retailers, but be aware that some only sell the current year (2025) software:
