Follow these steps:

Go back to the File section.
The program asks if you want to e-file or mail.
Then it asks about payment. Select that you will mail your payment. This does not go to the state. It just tells the program you don't want to pay with direct debit.
Once you have filed, you have until April 15th to pay online, mail a check, or set up a payment plan.
