Ready to Mailmeans you have to print out your return and mail it to the IRS yourself. Your taxes have not been filed yet, you will need to print them and then mail them. Unless you want to try and switch to efile.
Keep in mind Turbo Tax will always say Ready to Mail, the software has no way of knowing if or when you actually mail your taxes. And the IRS does not inform Turbo Tax when they get a mailed return.
