AGI verification for 2020

I filed with Turbo tax in early February 2021, and my 2020 return was accepted and refund sent.  Subsequently, certain unemployment income (by law) became "excluded" on Federal 2020 tax returns in late February 2021.  I was instructed to not file an amended return.....the IRS would fix it automatically and send another refund.

 

My question - for the " last year's AGI security verification check question" for 2021 turbo tax-filed returns, do I use the original 2020 return's AGI amount sent to the IRS in early February, or should I use the corrected AGI amount in late February (keep in mind,  a corrected tax return was never resent to the IRS,  as they instructed an adjustment would automatically take place without a corrected (amended) return excluding the previously reported unemployment income on the original return accepted)?

AGI verification for 2020

Please use the Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) from the ORIGINAL return you filed, NOT the adjusted return. 

 

This is the number that will match the computer system that accepts E-filing.
