If you filed by mail, the system will not know. Therefore, the system will send reminders for you to complete your return.

@Andriana123 "Ready to Mail" usually means that your return is ready to printed and mailed off for processing. If your intention was to e-file your return instead, you can do so by switching to e-file. Here's how: How do I change from mail to e-file in TurboTax Online?

 

 

@ErvinGraves Have you tracked your return on the  "Where's My Refund?" tool? It does take 4-6 weeks for the IRS to receive mailed in returns and for you to be able to track them.
