2019 TAX Return was not made.

Hello, I'm new to this in my long life in the U.S. I'd like to discuss this with you. I am an artist and have income from both W-2 and freelance and hired an American accountant who was referred to me by a friend and filed for 2019 last year.

I never met the accountant in person, but all online and over the phone, and in March he gave me a copy of the taxreturn2019 that I should have paid out, so of course I thought it was e-filed （ I didn't sign the form, but I thought I had a digital signature. I didn't sign the document, but I thought it was digitally signed ） There was no confirmation about it.
By the way, I don't think there will be a penalty since there is no money to pay to Federal and the state, just a refound.

Last September, when I did an IRS status search, I couldn't find my status, so I contacted my accountant in a panic, but he kept making excuses that I would get it tomorrow, and I had already heard during this pandemic that my TAX was due from April to July and then to October.
I believed him as it was.
However, late last year he told me that he had lost my file. I asked him if he wanted me to send him a copy of my March file ？ but he didn't reply.
I've been waiting since March, with about 10 or more "I'll send it tomorrow" messages, but recently I texted whatsup and got a response.

"I love having oriental women as clients. They are all very patient and wait for me. I wish they would wait a little longer..." I replied and of course I countered....

So, I would like to ask for the wisdom of anyone who knows anything about this, but I would like to mail the letter dated March 6 from him directly to the IRS, but I don't have his signature.　I have already requested a digital signature, but of course I have not received a response.
It is illegal to create a signature without permission, isn't it? （ I can create a digital signature ）

Or I can charge him a refound and hire another accountant or file it myself with tarbotax.

And one more question, is it possible to file my 2020 TAXRETURN first if I didn't file last year ？ I want to get this issue out of the way before I get busy with my 2020 TAXRETURN.

Please do let me know what you think.

I will answer each of your questions.

＞ I had received a copy of the TAXRETURN 2019 to be paid out to my accountant in March
＞ I naturally assumed it was e-filed
＞ but there was no confimation about it. There was no confimation about it.

E-File is common knowledge for tax return professionals, especially for last year
I don't think it is possible to file Paper.
Furthermore, in the case of E File, you do not sign the return, but you must sign a
E File filing consent form. It is
strange that you don't have that.
CPAs or EAs （ Tax Attorneys ） are given an EFIN number, and if they
do not have one, or are not registered, they cannot E File.

＞ I would like to mail the March 6 dated from him directly to the IRS

I don't think you should
at this stage, except to talk to him directly and have him mail you a return with his signature on it.

＞ Or I could charge him a refound and hire another accountant or file with Tarbotax
＞ myself.

If I can't contact him, it would be better to re-file it separately.

＞ And one more question, is it possible to

＞ I want to get this issue out of the way before I get busy with the 2020 TAXRETURN. I want to get this issue out of the way before I get busy with my 2020 TAXRETURN.

No problem at all. Even if I mailed my 2019 Paper return today,
it would be faster to process the 2020 return that I e-filed.

Last but not least,
check the status of this accountant at the following site.
Once you pass the CPA exam, you will not be able to continue your license unless you have taken the annual CPE （ course ） to continue
your CPA license, so you will not be able to do the E File
. Please check his status
at the following site.

He may have had a license, or he may be
not a CPA but only a licensed tax return document preparer in California
called CTEC. You may be able to prepare the paperwork, but since you are not authorized
to do an E File number, you are most likely working as staff in the town's tax office.

＞ It would be better to make a new form

I can't say for sure without seeing the form, but if your return is correct
then you can transfer it to a new form and it should work.
I can't say for sure.
This time, I think that you faked it by spending a lot of time because you only created the tax return form and E File cannot
do it because it does not have an EFIN number.
I don't want to waste your money, so I will check the contents again, and if there is no problem,
I can retype it into our software and send it to you.
No money is needed. This is a tax accountant.

If you want, please email me directly.

I like your kind response, but as I said, I wouldn't recommend emailing a tax return form with SS# and other information to a complete stranger you met online.
You want to at least verify the person's identity.
