TurboTax shows both my 2020 fed and state returns were accepted. A subsequent email shows fed return rejected due to wrong 2019 AGI. If I make the coorection, will TT let me e-file again?

TurboTax shows both my 2020 fed and state e-filed returns were accepted. A subsequent email shows fed return rejected due to wrong 2019 AGI. (1) how do I make the correction to the AGI issue and (2) how do I e-file the corrected information?

Yes, you will be able to e-file a rejected return. TurboTax will walk you through how to correct this.

 

First, find the correct AGI. See: How do I find last year’s AGI?

 

Second, open your tax return and follow the prompts to fix your tax return.

Thank you.  Where do I find a link to "fix my return"?  The rejection email I received doesn't have a link.

Last year, tax year 2019, because I owed money, I filed a paper return.  So, this year, when I tried to e-file, not having a PIN from 2019 to enter I was asked for my AGI.  I looked up my AGI entered it and electronically filed.  My return was rejected with the message that my AGI was incorrect -- it wasn't.  My guess is my 2019 return has not been entered into the system. Does that relegate me to filing a paper return, even though I should be receiving a refund?

@SmFish Try entering 0 for your AGI.
