You don't mail it anywhere - it's just for your records.  You are supposed to sign it after acceptance but you don't actually mail it to CA.

See the top right corner of the form -

What evidence do I have that Intuit filed my forms on line? I know I paid for it but have no assurance that it was done.

It feels uncomfortable not to mail the return in.

You can check your efile status here,
https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup


When you efile you get back 2 emails. The first email only confirms the transmission. The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile.


When you log into your account you should also see the status and if it was Accepted or Rejected, Started, Printed, Ready to Mail, etc. What does it say?
