Solved

I completed my tax return using Turbo tax with one puzzle. So I decided to print out the PDF. But Turbo tax treated as completed. How do I continue (not as amendment)?

I paid and printed my tax return. Turbotax thought I already submitted my return in mail. So I can only amend my tax. But I actually would like to e-file my return (as a fresh return) but not amend. How do I do it?

Sounds like you are ok. For anyone else finding this post.....

If you haven't efiled or mailed your return you can go back and change anything and switch to efile. Do not click on Amend!

Click on Add a State to let you back into your return.

From Tax Home (the first screen you see after you sign in), scroll down to Your tax returns & documents. You may have to select Show to open the drop down.

Select 2020, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this is just the workaround).

Then when you are ready to file you can try to switch to efile.

Always print a copy of your completed tax return for your records, and review it carefully before e-Filing.
You will need it if you are audited by the IRS, or to amend if a TurboTax update changes your return or for any other reason,

AND, to find your AGI next year.

Unfortunately, and stupidly, TurboTax may (will?) mark your return completed.

Use the command trick "Add a State" to resume working on your tax return.

Indeed, I asked Turbotax help. "Add a state" link will make "Federal" tax show. And I can edit federal tax return.

Also, I can e-file. This is wonderful.
