I need to mail my tax return prepared by Turbotax. the downloaded form has "do not mail " " E-FILE only" printed in gray. Is it okay to mail this form?

I have selected mail option not E file option.  And I have no idea how to get the form without this "do not mail " " E-FILE only"  printed

It sounds like the forms are ready for e-file but not to be mailed. Whatever the reason is for the return to be mailed, you should wait until they are ready.

On the other side, some states claim that you cannot mail in the return if you used software to prepare, so the "do not mail" will always be on that return. However if mailed, they usually accept it.  I would wait a couple of weeks if that is an option, to see if the printed returns will delete the "E-file only."
