Yes, you can.


When you get to the file section of the program, you can choose different filing methods for each return: 

 

  • Select E-file for your federal return.
  • Select File by Mail for your state return. The program will provide the forms you need and the mailing instructions for your state taxing agency.

Follow the next steps to file by Mail:

  1. Sign in to your TurboTax account and open your return. Go to the File tab.
  2. Complete steps 1 and 2.
  3. In Step 3, choose "File by mail."
  4. Follow the instructions to print, sign, and mail your forms.
