Federal Tax Return - Returned for Lack of Signature

After 6 months, my 2020 Federal Tax Return was returned for lack of signature(s). In lieu of signing and returning my paper return (which will take years to process) can I now file my return electronically?

No, sorry it's too late to efile.  Efiling closed Oct 15.

Use a mailing service like certified mail so that you will know that the IRS receives it.

From bitter experience, I can warn you, never file two tax returns.
