Why does my return say ready to mail? What do I need to do?

If your return says ready to mail, it means you chose the mail option to file your return.  

 

To change to e-file, follow the instructions below.

  • In TurboTax Online, sign into your account.
  • Select Tax Home in the left menu.
  • Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
  • Select 2019, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you into the right area).
  • Select File in the left menu (expand your browser window if you don't see this, or select the menu icon in the top left corner).
  • On the Just one more step screen, follow steps 1 and 2 if you haven't already.
  • Select the Start button to the right of Step 3.
  • On the Let's get ready to e-file screen, select I want to e-file.
  • Follow the instructions to e-file your return.
