Does my AGI appear anywhere on my transcript with the IRS? I filed using the AGI from 2020 and the IRS says it's not correct.

I used the AGI from my 1040 prepared by an accountant. It still gets rejected.

Try using 0 (zero).

Yes your AGI is on your transcript but it might not be in the database that the IRS is using to match up your 2020 and 2021 returns.

If it was rejected for AGI—-be aware that many 2020 returns took so long for the IRS to process that your 2020 AGI might not be in the IRS system. Try using zero instead.

If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year. The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.

If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.
