I filed my 2019 taxes in July. The IRS, despite cashing the check I sent then to pay what I owed, reports me on their web page as not yet having submitted my 2019. Knowing that IRS had not yet processed the form, I didn't know what to do when I tried to e-file my 2020 when it came to the identity question about last year's AGI. I just guessed I should answer truthfully and ended up putting in my AGI from last year from my records. I suppose, unsurprisingly, my e-filing is being rejected by the IRS, and Turbotax reports the reason as AGI not matching last year's return. So I thought I would try to change that and submit saying that I had not filed a return last year, since as far as the IRS is concerned I haven't.
But Turbotax won't let me change that setting as far as I can tell. Is there a way to change it? Or should I just file a paper return, hoping that the IRS someday gets around to processing it as well as my Covid relief money credit from last year. I never received the second relief because IRS has not yet processed 2019, although I did receive the first relief because it went of 2018.
