The Return was rejected two times now. I'm sure I'm entering the correct AGI from last year. Although I really made a different Self-select PIN now. So it won't really be a match from last year.

Entering the prior year agi or the prior year self-select pin are merely a requirement to qualify you for e-filing your current year return.

You might try entering a 0 for your prior year agi to see if it will work and let you continue with your return. There are several conditions where IRS says you should use a 0 prior year agi.

At this point, being able to e-file your return is the goal. Try the $0 and see.

Here is some additional information from IRS:

Special Instructions to Validate Your 2020 Electronic Tax Return

If your 2019 tax return has not yet been processed, enter $0 (zero dollars) for your prior year adjusted gross income (AGI).

If you used the Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here tool in 2020 to register for an Economic Impact Payment in 2020, enter $1 as your prior year AGI.

For more information, see Claiming the Recovery Rebate Credit if you aren’t required to file a tax return.

When self-preparing your taxes and filing electronically, you must sign and validate your electronic tax return by entering your prior-year Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) or your prior-year Self-Select PIN.

Generally, tax software automatically enters the information for returning customers.

If you are using a software product for the first time, you may have to enter the information yourself.
