I created a 2020 amendment with TurboTax and the 1040-X line 1 original amount of AGI does not match the amount shown on the originally filed 1040 line 11 AGI. Why?

[PatG1]

These amounts need to be the same. If they don't match then the IRS will probably reject the amendment.

[SweetieJean]

Why are you amending?  Is it for unemployment comp?

[PatG1]

I needed to include some 1099 income that was not in the original filing.

maybe you fiddled with your return before pressing the AMEND button.

Always print a complete hard copy of your originally filed return before trying to amend.

[PatG1]

No fiddling was done. I also compared the original hard copy print done at the time of the filing to the xxx.tax2020 file that was to be amended and the numbers match exactly.

I'm having exactly the same issue.  The original AGI shown on the 1040-X is not the AGI that was originally submitted.  This causes me to lose faith in TT.
