Mailing attachments to PA after efiling?

While completing a PA nonresident return, TT advised that I after efiling I needed to "send" various forms to that State (a 1099 R , a 1099-s, my w2, etc). . Only filing in PA because I sold a small property and need to report capital gain. TT did not prompt to upload anything nor advise where to send the various forms. TT accepted the e-file. What do I do?

Since your return was accepted via e-filing, do not mail a duplicate paper return. The state of PA has received your data electronically, so mailing paper copies is not necessary at this time.

If for any reason they determine more information is needed, they will send you correspondence.

In the meantime, keep all of your documents stored in case they are needed later.

THANK YOU! To clarify, I meant that Turbotax accepted it without errors--PA actually has yet to accept it. But from reading other posts I am gathering that I just need to keep PA form 8453 for 3 years and not send anything in unless requested. Is that right? Much appreciated!!

You are correct, you need to keep the Form 8453 in your files in case the state requests it later on.
