Still not clear on what happens (what is the next screen) after I check the boxes to e-file federal and NY returns now. I do not want the returns to be e-filed yet, only after I have reviewed them.
Also, when I do a print preview, the filing instructions are for mailing, not for e-filing.
Basically, there is an early step "do you want to print or save a copy for your records?" Here, you will get mailing instructions, ignore that because you want to review the return. Then you proceed to payment of Turbotax's fees, and probably some offers for extra services for an upcharge. Then the choice to e-file or file by mail. If you choose e-file, there will be some additional verifications (filing PIN, AGI, bank account), then transmit your return.
Then after you transmit your return, you will see another opportunity to print or save a copy for your records, and this copy will have the e-filing instructions.
And then, after your return is accepted by the IRS, you can log back in and go to print/save a copy, and this time it will have the IRS electronic postmark confirming the e-file.
