I mistakenly filed non-filer form when i was checking for stimulus package thing as i thought we need to do for if haven't filed 2019 tax return. Then i right away saw the criteria and next day e-file my return but it got rejected.

 

I filed paper base but forgot to sign it . It was my bad and was in rush.Now can i send them paper 1040 with signed and put cover letter?

Yes, go ahead and send another copy of your tax return.  In addition to being sure to sign it, do not forget to attach copies of your W-2s as well.  You can include a cover letter explaining that you are sending it again since the prior one was not signed.

Your stimulus payment may take a bit. However, the IRS rolled out the "Get My Payment" tool here. According to IRS.gov, you can use the "Get My Payment" application to:

  • Check your payment status
  • Confirm your payment type: direct deposit or check
  • Enter your bank account information for direct deposit if the IRS doesn't  have your direct deposit information and if they haven't sent your payment yet.
  • Receive paper check payments: If you moved since you last filed, let us know your new mailing address.

If IRS sees you did not sign, they will send it back for signature and put your return on hold.

IRS is way behind on paper returns.

You will probably get your return back soon to be signed.

meanwhile your second return is added to the pile and will be processed in the order received.

After all that you can file form 1040-X if there is still something that needs correction and that was not adjusted by the IRS for you.
