Just want to confirm that it did work for me. IRS accepted my return. I guess it's only used by IRS to automatically verify a user. It doesn't matter much what you enter as long as the system accepts your return.
Thanks for your help.
Good news! You're welcome.
Yes, you could use Option 1, and then enter a 2019 AGI of 0 since the IRS computer does not yet know the 2019 AGI in its database since your 2019 return has not been processed.
Option 4 (didn't file last year) while technically not correct, would have worked, too, since it would have fooled TurboTax into using a 2019 AGI of 0. If one tells TurboTax they didn't file a 2019 return, it would enter a 2019 AGI of 0 automatically in the background.
