I filed my 2019 taxes, the status states it's ready to mail, do I need to print and mail my return or do turbo tax mail it?

Sorry but Printed or Ready to Mail means you have to actually print out your tax return and mail it to the IRS or state yourself.  So it has not been filed yet.  And it will always say Ready to Mail.  Turbo Tax doesn’t know if or when you mailed it and the IRS doesn’t update Turbo Tax when they get your mailed return.    You can try to switch to efile.   Click on Add a State to let you back into your retun.

Or if you want to mail a return from the Online version

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS received the return. Don’t forget state.

 

Important! Mail Federal and State in separate envelopes and mail each year in separate envelopes.

 

4 weeks after mailing you can start checking IRS Where's my refund

What state are you filing from?   @mgallardo22598

 

Where to File Paper Tax Returns With or Without a Payment   You should use the address from this IRS link.   And that should be the same as what TurboTax gives you in the instructions.
