It had an electronic signature that you had to do before TurboTax would e-file the return. If your return(s) were successfully e-filed, you electronically signed your forms.

There is no physical signature on an electronically filed tax return.  Your e-filed tax return is validated by the IRS using your prior year AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) on the federal tax return.
