IRS continues to reject my 2021 E filing saying my AGI from 2020 is incorrect ( which it isn’t by the way) I requested. the transcript for 2020 from IRS DATABASE SHOWING THAT the AGI I Am using is correct. Had to eventually file a paper return 4 months ago and still waiting on my refund. So annoying that after at least 15 years of TurboTax I will probably not use it next year. 😫 Has anyone else had this issue ?
If the IRS has a problem with their database, you would probably get rejected at any other software provider. The IRS database for e-file validation is not directly connected to your other IRS account--they have many different computer systems that don't talk to each other effectively--and it is certainly possible that the e-file validation database was not updated with your 2020 information in time for you to file your 2021 return. Even the IRS says to try 0 (zero) if your AGI doesn't work.

Remember that the first time you e-filed, you had the opportunity to pick a PIN. That self-selected PIN should always work, even if your AGI does not, assuming you know what it was.
