Maybe the following will help:

 

How do I change from mail to e-file in TurboTax Online?

 

If you already mailed your return, don't e-file. This can cause problems with the government, including refund delays.

  1. In TurboTax Online, sign in to your account
  2. Select Tax Home in the left menu
  3. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents
  4. Select 2022, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you into the right area)
  5. Select File in the left menu (expand your browser window if you don't see this, or select the menu icon in the top left corner)
  6. On the Just one more step screen, follow steps 1 and 2 if you haven't already
  7. Select the Start button to the right of step 3
  8. On the Let's get ready to e-file screen, select I want to e-file
  9. Follow the instructions to e-file your return

@eburs1981  Since your Federal return has already been accepted, you should be able to change the option with the steps above I gave you to change to e-file State return.  If you are using the CD/Download software just click on your State tab, go through the section to change to e-file.

 

If you have trouble getting back into your return, see the following for Online:

 

  1. Sign in to TurboTax
  2. On the Your 2022 federal return was accepted! page, scroll down to Your tax returns & documents, select Show, and then select 2022
  3. Now select Add a state (this reopens your return)
    • Note: If you've already started your state return, you can select Continue your return in the state tax return box
  4. Select State from the left menu
  5. On the Let's get your state taxes done right screen, select Continue and follow the instructions
