My efile was rejected saying that AGI for my spouse was incorrect.

I amended my return last year, almost immediately after filing, and the amended return was the one accepted. My refund was delayed about four months. When my efile was rejected this year I first put in the amount that differed with the amended return. That was rejected also. Then I went through the process of obtaining a transcript from the IRS and entered that amount for AGI, which is the same amount as originally entered by TurboTax. That was rejected also. I still prefer efiling but am looking for help moving forward.

When I entered my AGI for 2021, for 2020 I entered line 9 incorrectly. I have now replaced with line 9 with the correct amount in line 11. I have resubmitted my Federal & NYS returns with the correct amount but still get rejected. How can I correct the Turbotax flaw?
