This is the first time I'm unable to file electronically. I printed my return, and the instructions say to make sure I sign and date it, but I can't find a single place to do that!

Bottom of the 1040 page 2.  Look at the end of your state return.

I absolutely have nothing like that on my 1040. I have looked through every page three times as well as asked my partner to do so for me. Neither of us can find anywhere where a signature is requested.

There is only one 1040 form.  Everyone files a 1040.  What do you have?  Is it a 1040SR?

Why can't you efile?  Is the AGI rejecting?

When did you file 2019? If it was late in the year or you mailed it, try putting in zero for the AGI. And see, https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/rejections/help/what-if-i-entered-the-correct-agi-and-i-m-still-getting-an-e-file-reject/00/27031

If you can’t get it to efile you will have to print and mail it.

Be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them.  You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places.  Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.

The 1040SR is 3 pages. You sign on the bottom of page 3.
