You do NOT amend a tax return that has never been filed in the first place. Amending is a special process you only use for a tax return that has been filed and fully processed by the IRS. but that had mistakes. If your 2018 return was NOT filed then you should not be clicking on anything that says "amend". A rejected return was NOT filed. The IRS did not get it, so you do not amend it.
You have not explained what software you used for the 2018 return. It can ONLY be prepared on 2018 software--as previously explained to you. I gave you the link to get to the correct 2018 software. If you are messing around with the software that is currently online for the 2018 return, you are making a mistake.
You say your 2018 return was not filed--it was rejected for wrong AGI. That means the "guy" who prepared it should have fixed it and e-filed it, OR he should have printed it for YOU to sign in ink, and for YOU to put in an envelope and mail to the IRS.
If you do not have a copy of that rejected return to mail in, then use the link I gave you to prepare a NEW 2018 tax return--using 2018 software that you must download to a full PC or Mac.
Here is a link--again--to purchase and download the 2018 software you must use for the 2018 return.

You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.
Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
