I checked my 2023 AGI and it is correct.

There is a possibility that the IRS does not have your 2023 AGI in their database for your Social Security number.

Enter a 0 (zero) for the 2023 AGI and e-file your 2024 tax return again.

I tried entering zero and other formats of my AGI that I'm getting directly from the IRS website. It says I can mail them in but if I do that and they get rejected I will miss the cut off of April 15th? Idk what to do but I need to figure it out fast.

The IRS uses your prior year AGI to combat fraud. 

You can find your 2023 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) by:

Looking at line 11 on page 1 of your 2023 Form 1040
Requesting a transcript of your 2023 tax return from the IRS. You can request your transcript online at the following link: Get Transcript

Please click on this TurboTax article for more information.

Check these items as well to ensure you have the correct number.  If you:

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 2023 AGI. (Don’t split the AGI amount or enter  0  for one of you).

Time-saving Tip: If what you entered is correct and you continue to get a reject, you won't be able to e-file. There's probably a data mismatch at the government, or some other situation beyond your control that prevents your return from being e-filed. In this case, your only option would be to print and mail in your return.

This article will give you instruction on how to print and mail your return.
