2021 Filing via TurboTax rejected by the IRS for failure to enter my 2020 AGI on Line # 11 of my 2021 taxes

Yes?  What is your question?  If it rejected and wasn't filed you have to print and mail it now.  The AGI is  not needed to mail.  

 

So now when you efile 2022 efile use zero for the 2021 AGI since you are filing 2021 late.  

 

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS received the return. Don’t forget state.


Important! Mail Federal and State in separate envelopes and mail each year in separate envelopes.

The problem is I never received a copy of my 2021 tax return from TurboTax. As far as I am aware, after completing my 2021 taxes with TurboTax online, the return was forwarded by TurboTax directly to the IRS but a copy was never sent to me. I then received a letter from TurboTax advising me that the return was rejected for not having my 2020 AGI entered on Line # 11. I thought TurboTax took care of that for me but it didn’t. Can you resolve this for me ?

If your return was rejected and you did not save a copy of the initial return, you will need to start over, as Turbo Tax would not save a copy of the return not filed.
