Retirement tax questions

I see, 

and I assume that adding the Social Security Number will not change your refund or tax due.

In this case there is not much you can do. 

You can't amend the 2020 return unless it makes a difference in your tax due or refund amount. (If it would, then you could amend and file a 2020 1040X) 

 

The IRS is truly backlogged, so it is believable they have not gotten to your original 2020 return yet.  

 

It would be handy to be able to do a total "DO-OVER" with the IRS, but you have to wait until that original return is processed.
