How do I efile my return? I have the PDF full return but I'd like to efile it, not mail it, can I do that?

Follow the directions below to switch to the e-filing option. 

  1. In TurboTax Online, sign into your account. 

  2. Select Tax Home from the left menu. 

  3. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents. 

  4. Select 2019, 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.
