Yes. You check with the IRS to make sure that the copy of your return is the same as what is in their records. To do this, you can order a free IRS Transcript, of your past return from the IRS.
It doesn't hurt to try using a zero for the 2019 AGI. Of course the final solution will be to file the returns by mail.
As a reminder these are the usual protocols for the 2019 AGI:
- Filed late last year after mid-November or your return was processed after that time—try entering $0.
- Amended your return last year—make sure you’re using the AGI from your original return, not the amended one. (If you only have a 1040X form, it’s on line 1, column A).
- Rounded your AGI to the nearest dollar—be sure to round up when it’s 50 cents or more and down when it’s 49 cents or less.
- Filed with your spouse last year—you and your spouse have the same 2019 AGI. (Don’t split the AGI amount or enter 0 for one of you).
