Federal Return Rejected for 2021 AGI

I have filed taxes with Turbo Tax for years.  The AGI/PIN were imported from my 2021 return.  Continually, the return was rejected saying that the AGI is incorrect.  I checked with my saved copy and I do not see that it is incorrect.  Any suggestions?  I need to figure this out eventually.   But, sadly for 2022 I will be mailing hardcopies to both Federal and State.  Thank you Turbo Tax :(

There is a good possibility that the IRS does not have your 2021 AGI in their database.

Enter a 0 (zero) for the 2021 AGI and e-file the 2022 tax return again.

Thank you!  That was it.  I had read about entering 0 if your 2021 was pending but never thought an accepted 2021 return would require me to enter 0 for AGI.  This has never happened before.  I greatly appreciate your timely response.
