A 2021 tax return can only be printed and mailed using TurboTax, it cannot be e-filed.

Do you need to finish and file 2021 -OR- need the 2021 AGI to file 2022? You need your 2021 AGI to efile 2022. The AGI is on 2021 1040 line 11. If you filed a Joint return you use the same AGI for each spouse.

How to find the AGI.

If you didn't file 2021 or filed it later in the year or mailed it, then try entering 0 for the AGI. If that doesn't work you will have to print and mail your return.
