Change filing method from efile to mail - 2021 turbotax business downloaded version
I have looked for how to change filing method and can only find an answer for Turbotax Online. I have Turbotax Busines 2021 CD/Download version.
I originally selected to efile an estate 1041, never was able to file it due to additional requirements, and now have to change to mail. When I go to the' file my return' tab and select 'file by mail' then 'print return to mail' - the printed return has efile instructions.
Also when I check errors I get errors for not having entries required to efile.
How do I change to file by mail? I have not efiled the return.
Update:
I think I figured out my problem. But not my solution.
This is a short year return 1/1/22-8/31/22. I completed a return for 2021 tax year and am now using 2021 turbotax business to complete the short 2022 return. I had no "previous year" file to load because I am still using 2021 and the previous file is 2021 file. So I just copied the 2021 file to a different name and started the 2022 short return with it and changed the data. The 2021 year taxes were efiled so the 'return accepted' is also included in the file I copied even though the current file has not been filed at all. I can not seem to delete the efile information from the filing of the original 2021 return.
I don't know if when I select print the forms to be mailed I am actually getting the correct forms since the efile directions come with it.
