I mailed in my taxes the end of February, and I’m still seeing “Ready to Mail” in the app. Did they not receive them, are they not approved? Where should I go from here?

Turbo Tax will always say Printed or Ready to Mail. They don't know when or if you actually mailed it and the IRS doesn't tell or update Turbo Tax when they get your return.

4 weeks after mailing you can start checking IRS Where's my refund

Did you get a tracking number from the post office? And mail federal and state in separate envelopes to different places?

I did get a tracking number for the post office but was having phone problems and never tried to check again. I didn’t send anything separately, I put everything in one envelope and shipped it off. Was I supposed to? This was my first time filing taxes by myself, and couldn’t e-file since I didn’t have my tax papers from last year.

Did you put both federal and state in the same envelope? To where? They go to different places. So one of them did not get filed. You still need to file that one.
