If you e-filed your return, you already electronically signed your return.  If you mailed in your return, you needed to sign it before you mail in the return.

Your State may require you to keep a signed Efile Authorization Form with your tax records.

The form will print out with your return and Filing Instructions.

Rarely a state form is required to be mailed in; the Filing Instructions will denote that.

Here's a listing of States and forms required:
