"ready to mail" means "ready for you to mail"

TurboTax tells you as much when you get to that stage.

"Ready to mail" means you did not file it. That means that you did not e-file it, and unless you put it in an envelope and took it to a mailbox yourself, it has not been filed by mail either.

E-filing is still open until October 15, so you can e-file it, or you can print, sign and mail it yourself.

To change to e-filing:

Or----to file by mail:

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first one will say that your return was submitted. The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected. If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here?

https://www.irs.gov/refunds

Or does your account say “Ready to Mail?”

Note: If it says “Ready to Mail” or “Printed” that means YOU have to mail it yourself. TurboTax does not mail your tax return for you.
