You should be able to. You will need to go back into filing and asked if you want to e-file. Say yes and continue to filing. You will need 2015 Adjusted Gross Income, your D/L number, date of issue and date of expiration. There is a $19.99 fee for any state returns you file. Hope this helps!

The poster is using Online TurboTax. There are no state efiling fees in the Online product. I've left the steps on how Online users can change filing methods in another answer on this page.

As long as you have not actually filed (not actually mailed or efiled), here's how to open up your unfiled return to change filing methods if TurboTax thinks you are finished:

Log in and go to your 2016 Tax Timeline.
If TurboTax thinks you are finished, there will be no orange "Take me to my return" (continue return) button.
So in that case, scroll down to "Some things you can do."
Choose "Add a State." (you don't really add one; that's just to get the return to open up.)
Once the return is open, go to the FILE tab to change the filing method.

NOTE: Do NOT use this method to open a return to make changes/edits to an already-filed return (one that has actually been mailed or efiled.) If you later need to make changes to an already-filed return, you have to go through the formal amending process, and your return must start off exactly as originally filed.
