IF I print my forms, will they be submitted to the IRS at the same time?

No. You can print whatever you need. Your return will not get filed until you submit it with a Self-Select pin in step 3 of the filling process - TurboTax will ask you to confirm before submitting, so you can print without fear of filing prematurely. Go to the Print Center to print your forms - it is located with the Tools Menu on the left in TurboTax Online.

And...if you have the idea that printing the returns means that TurboTax will mail them.......TT does not ever mail it for you. If you are choosing to file by mail, you must put the signed return in an envelope and take it to a mailbox yourself. Or you must be the one to click the big orange button that says "Transmit my returns now" in order to e-file.
