You CAN efile a 2020 return even if you have no income because the refundable stimulus credit will allow it ... there will not be a non filer option this year since the regular filing methods will work. I cannot see the IRS opening up a non filer option again since the regular filing options will work just fine. Last year that temporary non filer site confused those who really did need to file forcing many to paper file an amended return ... I hope we don't have a repeat of that disaster when you can use one of the IRS FREE FILE options instead.
If you qualify you can use one of the 10 IRS FREE FILE options to file a fed & state return for free ... but you must log in thru the IRS site :
https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free
For Filing Season 2021, you must make $72,000 or below to use one of the 10 IRS Free File partner offers.
If you choose the TT option then you can log in with your same user ID and agree to switch to the FREE FILE option then your progress will be preserved.
