I tried a third time and entered 0 as AGI and Fed accepted my return.
This means that the paper return i mailed in late March of 2020 for tax year 2019 has not be processed.
This also, explains why my late mother received a stimulus check--they have not processed the 2018 and 2019 paper returns.
I have read on social media post, where the IRS has about 12 million of the paper forms waiting to be processed. How inefficient!
