I used TurboTax to created the tax return, but printed it out and mailed it in. IRS says they never received it even though the cashed the check. Need TurboTax to electronically file it for me.

You cannot e-file a 2020 return. E-filing is permanently closed for 2020. The only way is to mail it.

You have to paper file your 2020 return. The e-filing "window" for non-corporate and non-partnership returns goes from January to mid-October of the calendar year that immediately follows the tax year. For example, tax year 2020 returns can be e-filed from January 2021 through October 2021.

If you still need to file your 2018, 2019, or 2020 tax return, see these instructions for paper-filing your return again.
