You can file your return electronically or by mail. If you select File by Mail, you'd send off your return after printing off what you've prepared with TurboTax.
If you E-file, you'd simply transmit your return using a secure, encrypted connection and skip the paper (few exceptions apply).
To change your filing method:
- Go to File (upper right)
- (Complete Steps 1 and 2) Start Step 3
- Select File by mail to open the Change filing methods window. Choose from E-file, File by mail, or I'm not ready to file for federal and all of your states.
E-file: Continue to Transmit (my) Returns Now. When you see Transmission Successful, you're done!
File By Mail: Print off your finalized return - mail it to the address provided on your Filing Instructions
