If you log into your Online account, and at the Tax Home you see a status of "ready to mail", that means that TurboTax thinks you intend to print, sign, and mail your return. Did you choose to file by mail? If so, TurboTax does not do the mailing. If that's how you want to file, then YOU have to do the mailing.
If you haven't actually mailed it, and want to switch to efile instead, we can tell you how to open your unfiled return back up and change filing methods.
