Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I am unable to choose the file by mail option for my state tax return. It is there, but I can't click on it.

I have chosen that they deduct my state taxes that I have to pay from my federal refund, if that has anything to do with it.

Yes, it does. If you’ve elected to pay the TurboTax fees through your refund, the File by Mail option won’t be available. Change your payment method, return, and follow the steps.
