What do you mean by "just paid?" Online preparation and e-filing for a 2018 return have been closed since October 15, and it is no longer possible to purchase online for 2018, and it is too soon to purchase online for 2019.
You missed the deadline to e-file a 2018 return, and it will have to be printed, signed and mailed. If you mean you started the return before the deadline and are just now getting around to trying to file it, then you still have to pay for the use of the software you used to prepare the return. The fee for online TurboTax is the same whether you e-file or print and mail it. Or if you just purchased the desktop program, same thing--you cannot e-file. It has to be mailed in. Choose file by mail when you get to the file section.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS and/or your state received the return.
