Tax Year Prior to 2020: What mean ready to mail

When you choose to print and mail your return rather than efile it, TurboTax will say ready to mail. If you wanted to mail it, you must print, sign and mail the return yourself. TurboTax doesn't mail it for you. Pay attention to the filing instructions for what to include with your mailed return.

Select File in the left menu, and follow the instructions until you can select the Transmit my returns now button.

 

You must select that button to electronically send your return to the government.

Once you've done that, the next thing you should see is a Transmission Successful screen. This means your return is on its way to the government agency.

Your e-filed return will remain in pending status until the government either accepts or rejects it.
