Did you file a 2020 tax return with the IRS?  If so, and the 2020 tax return was Accepted by the IRS, then the 2020 AGI should not have to be changed.  You need the 2020 AGI on the original tax return that was filed so that it can be entered on the 2021 tax return for e-filing.

Understand but I did not make my final filing with Turbo Tax. I would like to use TT for 2021 filing but unable to do so unless I can I can change what they have. Any idea how to change or override?

If you are transferring the incomplete 2020 TurboTax return you started into the 2021 tax return there is no way to fix the 2020 AGI on the incomplete tax return.

When you get ready to e-file your return all you need to do is enter the 2020 AGI that was on the federal tax return accepted by the IRS.
