Oh sorry my bad.  Since you paper filed your 2020 return, try using Zero for your 2020 AGI to e-file.

 The IRS is backlogged so mailed in returns are taking longer than usual.  If you e-file your return when you already mail could delay the processing of your return.

Let me clarify....

I am in the process of filing for the year 2021.

My tax returns for the year 2020 have still not been processed.
