You got lots of helpful suggestions from for how to locate your 2019 return if you used TT to prepare it. You have not mentioned why you are looking for a rejected 2019 return now at the end of 2025. It is too late to file a 2019 return and receive an income tax refund. The refund was forfeited several years ago and will not be paid to you even if you file the return now. If you owe tax due (as shown on line 37 of the Form 1040) you still need to file and pay the tax owed to IRS and they will bill you later for the late filing penalties and interest owed.
When/if you locate the return, the only way to file it now is by mail. It must be printed, signed and dated in ink, and sent in by mail.
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 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.
