My dilemma: The IRS is completely backlogged. I paper filed my 2019 return February of LAST year. The return has yet to be put in the IRS system. I cannot get a transcript of it. An IRS rep told me my 2019 return was hung up in "error resolution". So the IRS has no way to match my AGI on my 2020 efile confirmation. Hence, Fed and State rejected my efiled returns. I know I can paper file 2020 but then I could wind up in the same boat next year with my 2020 paper return caught up in the same backlog that exists now. Any fixes/bypasses that can "force-file" my efile? Who knows when the IRS will get around to processing my 2019 return.
Thank you.
