Your tax return does not get mailed to TurboTax--or it certainly should not have been sent to TT!--if you mailed your tax return to the IRS, it takes about 4 weeks and then you can begin checking the status on the IRS site. Your "ready to mail" message will not change on TT because the software has no way to know that you actually mailed the return.
