Would I be able to switch to efile after I tried mailing my return? I know you normally can't, but I realized I forgot to sign my docs so they'll be returned.

Again normally know once you file by mail you can't efile, but technically mine won't be filed yet as it'll be returned for a signature. Though I'm not sure if it's still noted by the IRS and would cause confusion.

It's not normally recommended as it can cause a delay in your refund, but since your refund may be delayed as it is, here's how to do it. Please feel free to post any additional details or questions in the comment section.

If you use TurboTax Online and you selected that you wanted to print and mail your tax return, then TurboTax will treat your return as if you have filed.  If that is the case, you will no longer see, "Take me to my return/Continue my return" on your account.  To get around that issue, you will do the following:

•  Log in to your TurboTax Online account
• Click on Taxes, and then click on My Tax Timeline
• Locate your 2017 tax return on that page 
• Find  "Some things you can do" under your 2017 tax return information
• Choose Add a State (you don't actually add one; that's just to get the return to open up.)
• Now you can follow the instructions listed in the TurboTax FAQ below to change to e-filing your return, rather than filing by mail. 

Please see the following TurboTax FAQ for instructions on how to do so.
