My state taxes have been a disaster, the refund amount changes as though two different information sources.

Always print a copy of your completed tax return for your records, and review it carefully before e-Filing.
You will need it if you are audited by the IRS, or to amend if a TurboTax update changes your return or for any other reason,

AND, to find your AGI next year.

That goes for your State Tax Return also.

I have had my IRS 1040 rejected 4 times. Turbo tax indicates the AGI from 2020 may be wrong. I, however always print my returns and the 2020 AGI done by turbo tax is the one I submit. Does not work. Since the 1040 was not rejected last year can I assume it was correct or should I start over with 2020 and do an amended return? I surely hope that is not the case. I am running out of time. I would really appreciate your help. I have talked to 3 different Turbo Tax employees without a solution. One told me to contact IRS directly but you know how that goes, never got to a real person.
