Turbo Tax said I had to mail in my returns. I amended items and I believe I can e-file now, how can I get it to consider e-filing if I never mailed in my taxes?

To switch to e-filing:

  1. Sign in to TurboTax.
  2. On the Tax Home screen, scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
  3. Select 2024, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you into the right area).
  4. Select File.
  5. On the Just one more step screen, follow steps 1 and 2 if you haven't already.
  6. Select the Start button to the right of step 3.
  7. On the Let's get ready to e-file screen, select I want to e-file.
  8. Follow the instructions to e-file your return.

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

Wait...you never sent in the original???  Neither e-filed nor actually  put in the mail??

 

IF you never sent in the original....then you Do Not amend it. 

Undo the amendment.....then make sure your "Edits" are entered properly....then try e-filing the original again.
