Fed Return rejected due to AGI entered for last year not matching - But I double checked and it matches exactly

My federal return was rejected - stated reason is 'AGI doesn't match what the IRS has in their database'. I double checked, because I filed it last year, and the number matches exactly with what I have. Not sure what I should do now, other than file manually.

Be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them. You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places. Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.

I had to do an amended return last year because of a mistake I made on my 2021 tax. Would the AGI number be different on that form than the amended return I finally sent in? Could that be the reason I'm continually being rejected? Thanks Keith

You must use the AGI from the original filing ... it is the figure from the 1040X column A ... line 1.
