I received IRS Form CP80 for my electronically filed tax return for 2019. It is now November 2021. I have proof that the return was electronically filed and accepted, but they apparently have no record of the return. The IRS has a $900 credit on my account and says it will be lost if I don't send printed copy of return. I can't get through on the phone. What's my best recourse?

Mail a printed copy of your return and use a certified mail service so you know that it was received.

Make sure to sign the 1040 with INK then mail it ASAP as directed... it doesn't matter why they want it just comply.

Study this page from IRS. I'm in the same situation as your but for Tax year 2020. Sounds like you need to refile because it's for year 2019.

Due to processing delays for 2019 and 2020 tax returns, the issuance of CP80 and CP080 (Unfiled Tax Return – Credit on Account) notices has been suspended. If you receive a notice for your 2019 return and you filed more than six months ago, please refile the return. If you receive a notice for your 2020 return DO NOT refile.

I just rec'd, today, Feb 19 2022 a CP80 notice for my 2020 return. Notice was dated Dec 20 2021. I have USPS tracking proof they absolutely rec'd the return on March 8 2021 at 11:04 PM and they cashed my check to boot. The notice says I have a credit on account amount. I've read the comments that others with the same problem have made. So just to be sure I understand for the 2020 return I should do nothing? Is that correct?
