It just means you completed your taxes and printed them out to mail.

You only filed your return if you printed out your return and mailed it yourself. Did you get a tracking number from the post office? And mail federal and state in separate envelopes to different places?

4 weeks after mailing you can start checking IRS Where's my refund

I think we covered that. Ready to Mail means you have to print out your return and mail it to the IRS and state yourself. Did you? Federal and state go in separate envelopes to different places.

If you didn't mail the returns they have not been filed. You said in your first post you filed by mail not efile. Did you get a tracking number from the post office when you mailed them? It will take the IRS longer to process mailed returns.
