AGI of the previous year

[sreejith2904]

My tax returns was rejected because the AGI of the previous year had an error although I entered the correct number (Line 11 of form 1040).
However, I noticed that there is a bracket around the number at line 11. 

i,e. The AGI is  (127)  
Does this mean that my AGI in the last year was negative? If this is the case, while filing this years returns should i provide the previous years' AGI exactly like (127) instead of just the number?

 If it was rejected for AGI—-be aware that many 2020 returns took so long for the IRS to process that your 2020 AGI might not be in the IRS system.   Try using zero instead.

If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year.  The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.

If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.

Thank you. I will file with 0 as my previous AGI and see what happens.

Thank you for your suggestion @xmasbaby0 . The filing was accepted after refiling with 0 in the AGI field.

This is the second time this has happened.  I e-filed and entered the AGI from last years turbo tax and I know it is correct.  Last year I mailed the return but this year I am e-filing.  Why is it rejecting the return for the wrong AGI?

I used my pin for last year, it was  rejected  I  then tried  the prior year's AGI it was rejected too, what do I do now?

Enter a 0 (zero) for the 2020 AGI and e-file the 2021 tax return again.

Same, I've also verified on the IRS website that my 2020 taxes had been processed as well.
