It says ‘ready to mail’ in the state return section. I think I accidentally chose to send it mail myself instead of an e-mail. I haven't done this before. What can I do?

As long as you haven't already mailed your 2022 paper return, you can switch to the e-filing method (through April 18, 2023). However, some states now require e-filing, which means the federal and state must be e-filed together.

If you already mailed your return, don't e-file. This can cause problems with the government, including refund delays.

1. In TurboTax Online, sign in to your account
2. Select Tax Home in the left menu
3. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents
4. Select 2022, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you into the right area)
5. Select File in the left menu (expand your browser window if you don't see this, or select the menu icon in the top left corner)
6. On the Just one more step screen, follow steps 1 and 2 if you haven't already
7. Select the Start button to the right of step 3
8. On the Let's get ready to e-file screen, select I want to e-file
9. Follow the instructions to e-file your return
