2020 E-file needs AGI

[CephasTheRoadking]

Sent taxes thru the mail for 2019 and sent a payment of ~$2300 because we owed.  This year (2020) we're getting a refund and opted to e-file. I verified the AGI with what I filed for 2019 and it was rejected. After getting a transcript from the IRS, it shows they haven't processed the 2019 return and therefore I cant e-file because they don't have a correct AGI.  They cashed my check and have a record of receiving the money owed for 2019.

Has anyone else experienced this? It's been 11 months.

The IRS is still working on 2019 returns!   Use AGI of 0 (zero).

Since the IRS rejected the 2019 AGI it is possible the IRS does not have the correct AGI for you in their database.

Enter a 0 (zero) for the 2019 AGI and e-file the 2020 tax return again.

Filed 2019 taxes by mail and was processed by IRS

Where do I get AGI for e-file this year.

Try entering 0 for the AGI since you mailed 2019.   The IRS didn't process mailed returns in time.

The 2019 AGI is on the 2019 federal tax return, Form 1040 Line 8b.

E-filing a tax return after October 15, 2021 may be closed.  If the e-filed return is rejected you will have to print and mail the 2020 tax return and the 2019 AGI is not needed on a mailed return.
