2020 Taxes were filed by mail - AGI has not been processed - how can I bypass AGI Check filing 2021 electronically

[dcybela]

2020 taxes were file by mail because 2019 taxes were filed by mail and IRS did not have my AGI from 2019 for the 2020 AGI Check.  So filing 2019 by mail has now snowballed into having to file every year by mail (instead of electronically) because they have not "posted" my previous year's return AGI to be checked electronically.  I was on the phone to the IRS and they said for the AGI Check put in 0.00.  Can you confirm this will bypass it when it gets "Checked"?

If the 2020 AGI is not in the IRS database for your 2020 AGI then enter a 0 (zero) for the 2020 AGI and e-file the 2021 tax return again.
