How to edit AGI for unfiled 2021 taxes?

[mishkataft]

I have the desktop version of 2021 taxes. It asked if I'd received the 3rd stimulus payment, which I haven't. Then it asked what my 2020 AGI was, I looked at the wrong year and entered the wrong amount. Now I can't figure out how to edit it. Please help.

You may not be able to e-file your 2021 return with TurboTax.  Then you would have to mail in your returns 

How do I switch from "E-file" to "File by mail" in TurboTax Online?

To correct your AGI in TurboTax CD/Download , open your return and then:

1. Select the File tab and continue until you reach the screen that says To continue, select options below.
2. Enter your corrected AGI in Enter last year's AGI here.
3. Select Continue and follow the screens until you've re-transmitted your return.

To revisit the AGI section in TurboTax Online:

1. Sign in and open your return, if you haven't already done so
2. From the left menu, select File
3. Select Start next to Step 3 (if needed, revisit Steps 1 and/or 2 to activate Step 3)
4. Select I want to e-file
5. Continue until you see the place to enter your  AGI

The program asked for the 2020 AGI because you selected E-file in the File section of the program.  E-filing a 2021 tax return using TurboTax is no longer possible since e-filing for 2021 was discontinued by TurboTax after October 2022.

In the File section change your method of filing to File by mail.  The 2020 AGI is not needed for a mailed tax return.

Ah yeah I originally selected efile then realised I couldn't and changed it. So now I know why I can't change ,y AGI. Thank you so much. 🙂
