I have a client that received a letter from the IRS stating that they didn't receive his 2019 tax return and that he is to mail in a new copy. However, due to the backlog at the IRS, I would not recommend mailing anything to them. Am I able to e-file again a return that has already been e-filed?

Only as an amended return.

If it was efiled and accepted there is no need to mail the return. You need to ~~shoe~~ show the IRS the efile acceptance.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

I can't say that I have ever disagreed with a post from Susan, but I think I will this time. I wouldn't recommend shoeing an IRS agent. They might get mad and maybe even charge you with assault for throwing your shoe at them. Especially if your shoe happens to be a steel toed boot. 😜

And you would have PETA after you for throwing turtles...and that is just not nice for the turtles either. 😉

Did you e-file his 2019 return, or did client just tell you he did. If you did not efile it, I would give it a try, as it can't hurt. If you did e-file the 2019 return you will have have a form 9325 in the clients file showing date and submission ID

Yes, the tax return was e-filed and accepted, that's why it made no sense that the IRS is requesting that a return be sent. I will fill out the form for the client to be able to present to the IRS agent when the client goes to our local office. Thank you all for your prompt advice!
