My tax return is ready for filing. I would like to file california returns by mail, but TurboTax keeps saying it's ready for e-filing. How do I change that?

Please see the response from TerukoL:

Please click How do I print and mail my return in TurboTax Online? to learn how to change from E-file to mail.

1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax Online if you haven't already.
2. Select File and you’ll get to the [Your name], just (…) more steps and we'll file your returns screen.
3. You'll now see 3 steps. Complete Steps 1 and 2 if you haven’t already done so, then select Start next to Step 3.
4. On the Let’s get ready to e-file screen, select File by mail, then on the next screen make sure you select File by mail for federal and all of your states.
   • If the File by mail option isn’t available, you probably previously selected to pay your TurboTax fees through your tax refund. In order to file by mail, you’ll need to instead pay with a credit or debit card. Here’s how to change your payment method from pay by refund, to pay by credit or debit card. Once you change your payment method, you'll see the File by mail option as described above. Select this and continue to Step 5.(If you're using the Free Edition of TurboTax: You obviously won't have to pay, but you'll be asked to register. Just follow the instructions on the screen after selecting File by mail as above.)
5. Follow the instructions to print your return. If you haven't already paid any outstanding TurboTax fees, you'll be prompted to do so before you can print.

I was forced to pay for California e filing but I want to file by mail. How do I get my 50.00 refunded?

IRS has been E-filed and excepted.  Need to print California State to file by mail.

To mail your tax return please follow the steps in this TurboTax FAQ: How do I switch from "E-File" to "File by Mail" in TurboTax Online? Just make sure and only click for your California State tax return.

The first page in your printout package will be the File by Mail Instructions, which will provide the mailing address and what forms you need to include.
