Uhoh...did you think TurboTax was going to mail in your tax return? TurboTax does not mail it for you. If you choose to file by mail then YOU have to print it, sign it and mail it yourself.
When you mail a tax return, you need to sign it where it says "Sign Here" and write in the date you signed it by the word "Date". Attach copies of your W-2 and any other documents that show taxes withheld to the left side of the papers where it says "Attach Forms..." (Look carefully--the "Sign Here" spot is in the middle of the page now that the forms have been changed by tax reform)
When you print your return, it will print with filing instructions that tell you where to mail it. Pay careful attention to the address you mail your return to —federal and state returns do not get mailed to the same place.
It is not required, but is a good idea, to use a mailing service that will track your return or provide you with a receipt showing that the IRS got it--such as Fedex, UPS, or certified mail. It will take about 4 weeks and then you can track the status of your return at the IRS website.
