"Do NOT use this tool if you will be filing a 2019 return. Using the tool instead of filing your 2019 return will slow down processing of your tax return and receiving any tax refund.
The facts:
This entire thread is to help those people who already made the error.
Reminding them to "not use the tool", after they already did, is.... is... is ? Pointless maybe?

"At this point the slow down is self-imposed by those waiting for some IRS action to turn them from "non-filers" into "filers"."
The facts:
Everybody here already acknowledges that the error is "self-imposed." Everyone here admits that they used the tool unnecessarily. I haven't seen anyone here claim that aliens threatened them with an **bleep**-probe, and forced them to use the non-filers tool against their will. People here are looking for a remedy to their mistake. They are seeking help and guidance.
Has shaming people for their mistakes, after-the-fact, ever worked effectively to help people, in your life experience?

"I repeat my solution, file a paper return.
Write "Filed after using the IRS non-filers portal" plainly on the top of Form 1040.
IRS will figure it out."
The facts:
HUH? This is a convenient historic re-write.
You have posted in this and other threads 8? 10? 12? times .... that "your solution" is to file a Form 1040X.
Not once... not ever... has "your solution" been to "write a note on the top of your 1040 and let the IRS figure it out." What the _____ are you talking about? (rhetorical) This has NEVER been your posted "solution"... until this moment just now.
It's probably the best remedy... and probably enough of a remedy to get the job done... but it's never been your position in this thread until just now.
Bah-bye
