Did you file your own 2019 return as a dependent? You use that AGI.

You need your 2019 AGI to efile 2020. The AGI is on 2019 1040 line 8b. If you filed a Joint return you use the same AGI for each spouse.

How to find the AGI.

If you didn't file 2019 or filed it later in the year then try entering 0 for the AGI. If that doesn't work you will have to print and mail your return.

Or request a transcript from the IRS

If you filed a 2019 federal tax return then your 2019 AGI is on your 2019 Form 1040 Line 8b.

If you did not file a 2019 tax return then you should enter a 0 (zero) for the 2019 AGI and e-file the 2020 tax return.
