Some have suggested the Fireball Whisky helps a lot. If you have reached out to Practitioner Hotline, there is not much else to do.

If the client is upset enough, have them contact The Taxpayer Advocate https://www.irs.gov/advocate/the-taxpayer-advocate-service-is-your-voice-at-the-irs

I don't understand...why did you have to mail the 2021 return. Each year, in the eyes of the IRS, is independent. You should be able to e-file future returns regardless of whether or not the prior return was filed at all.

I filed the 2020 in March of 2022, then i filed the 2021 which the IRS rejected as a duplicate. They said I had to paper file it. If the IRS didn't reject it then Intuit did.

You filed the 2020 tax return on 2021 forms.
