Select 2020, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you back into your return).
After the return is open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then PRINT CENTER.

When you use desktop software, there is an additional fee to e-file a state return. You can avoid that fee if you print, sign and mail the state return. The state e-file fee is $19.99 and increases in March to $25.
However, if you are just now starting to prepare the 2020 return, you are not going to be able to e-file it---it will need to be printed, signed and mailed.
