Youre the only person that can mail in a tax return.   Where did you go online that makes you think youre being scammed?

It read turbo tax. They gave me a link to log into if I wanted to see my status. It's <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.taxtrack.net">www.taxtrack.net</a> I can not get in touch with them when I try to call them on the telephone.

That is NOT a TurboTax website.  You are being scammed.

That's what I'm thinking. What can I do to stop my tax return from being mailed?  Is there anything I can do?

Did you complete a 2017 tax return using that website?  A mailed tax return must be signed and dated and it must include all forms W-2 and forms 1099 which have taxes being withheld.

I signed papers electronically. I sent them pictures of the documents that they needed.

Fortunately I stopped short of signing papers and paying them. They are scammers. Horrible people. I reported them to Turbotax. and froze all my credits.
