If your state return in  your online account has a "return status" of "Ready to mail," that means it hasn't been filed UNLESS you actually did print it out and mail it to the state.  TurboTax does not mail it for you.  Did you print, sign, and mail it to the state tax agency?

 

If you haven't filed it and prefer to efile, we can tell you how to open it back up if you want to switch to efile.

 

If you DID mail it to the state, then your account's return status will continue to say "ready to mail", since TurboTax won't know if you actually dropped it into a mailbox or not.

My return says Ready To Mail. I git a card in mail. I thought id be getting my money uploaded to my card. How do I change my filing status?

As long as you haven't already mailed your 2019 paper return, you can switch to the e-filing method (through October 15, 2020).  Please click the TurboTax Help links to learn more. 

 

How do I change from mail to e-file in TurboTax Online?
