I don't have the option to file electronically

I wanted to download and print a copy of my tax forms so that I could look at them before I filed electronically. But now that I have done that, I no longer have the option to file electronically :(  I know that I have downloaded it before in past years and was then able to file electronically. How do I get that option back?

You can go back into your return to change to e-file.  Somehow the program might have thought you mailed in your return.
