In TurboTax Online versions, these steps will change how you'll file your tax return(s) so that you can switch from file by mail to e-file:
Note: These instructions apply to the current filing year only. (It's too late to e-file a 2016, 2015 or earlier tax return ). If you are trying to e-file any prior years return(s) they will need to be filed by mail.
- Open your return, if it's not already open, and select File from the menu on the left (if you don't see it, click or tap the 3 white lines in the upper-left corner to expand).
- On the Just one more step screen, follow steps 1 and 2 if you haven't already.
- Now select the Start button to the right of Step 3. This will take you to Here are your filing choices. Select I'd like to change filing methods.
- Change your filing method to E-file and save your selection.
- Continue following the onscreen instructions to e-file your return.
- Finally, be sure to keep an eye on your email to track the status of your tax return.
