I cant efile my return. The program will not allow me to change from efile to mail in. I can not figure out why.

From the print center on the program, choose what you wish to print and save it as a pdf to your computer.  Go to that downloaded pdf on you computer and print using your computer prompts.  You not only have printed your return, but you have a copy on your computer for further reference.  

If you don't actually e-file it, filing by mail is okay.  I never e-file, but the program always prompts me to do so.

That answer has nothing to do with what he just asked

Be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them.  You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places.  Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.
