If a return not your own was filed with your SSN, you can't e-File and must file on paper via US Mail.

 

The federal e-File is free and has no bearing on what your TurboTax fees are.

The Online fees are to prepare the return whether you efile OR print and mail your return.  

 

How 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.
