When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state.
This will take you back to the 2018 online tax return.
You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large Orange button labeled "Transmit my returns now".
After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.
If TurboTax thinks you were finished and intended to file by printing and mailing, but you really haven't filed anything, you can open the return back up to change the filing method and to proceed with efiling.
At the Tax Home or in the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents", look for a small box with a link that says "Add a State." (You don't really add one; that's just to open the return back up.)
Once the return is open, you can continue working on it.
Once you've finished it, go through the REVIEW section.
If the Review is OK, then go to the FILE section, change the filing method to efile, choose a refund method (if applicable), make any payment (if applicable), then continue on answering screens until you get to the last screen which will have a big orange button "Transmit My Returns Now" and click on that.
