I never received my 2020 return they say they received it but its processing and when I try to do my 2021 return it get rejected because they can't verify my AGI. So I think the IRS can not verify last years even thou that have it. I did get a letter in the mail about my dad death but he died in 2021 and was alive in 2020 and I am doing the taxes for my parents

Since your 2020 return was processed late, try using a Zero for your 2020 AGI.
Sorry that did not work. Maybe the following will help:
Your 2020 return must have been Accepted by the IRS for your prior year AGI to be on record. If you mailed your 2020 return, or it was late, you need to make sure it was Accepted by contacting the IRS directly.
You can print and mail your 2021 return or select I didn’t file last year, if your 2020 return was rejected and never resubmitted or accepted by the IRS.
Here are a few other possible reasons why you’re still getting an e-file reject. If you:
If you're still having trouble, we suggest that you check with the IRS to make sure that the copy of your return is the same as what they have in their records. To do this, you can order a transcript from the IRS.
If you’ve tried everything and nothing works you can still file a paper return by printing out copies of your federal and state returns and mailing them. We’ll include File by Mail Instructions on where to send your returns and what forms, if any, you need to include.
