If you haven't actually filed at all, i.e, haven't efiled and didn't print and mail it, you can open the return back up and change the filing method and proceed to efile.
- Log into your account, and at the Tax Home or in the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents" for 2019, look for a link "Add a State."
- Click on "Add a State." (That doesn't really add one; that's just to open the return interview back up.)
- Once the return is open, go to the REVIEW section and go through the review screens and error check to be sure everything is still in order.
- Then go to the FILE section and change the filing method to efile.
- Then continue on through all the remaining screens, verifying or providing any information, and at the final step click a big orange button that says "Transmit Returns Now."
After efiling, you should get 2 emails. The first one should say that your return had been transmitted. That will be followed by a second email up to 24-48 hours later (although for some it can be much sooner--a few minutes or hours) that will tell you if the return was accepted or rejected. You can also check the efile status later by signing back into your Online account and checking at the Tax Home. It will say "pending" until it is either accepted or rejected.
