I filed my 2019 taxes in April 2020. Got them back in October 2020 with a letter saying that I forgot to sign them and to return by November 2020. I did not. The bank account on those taxes is also closed now. Can I re-file electronically? Am I still going to get my refund ($3300)? Or what do I do???

You can only efile the current year 2020.  You have to mail them again.  You have 3 years to file for a refund.

But what about my bank account info?

Change the banking information on the tax form.  Do you have any white out?  Fix it by hand and put in your current banking information before you mail it in.

 

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
