How to change AGI for 2020 so I can E File 2021 while 2020 is not processed yet?

I completed and E Filed 2020 Tax Return in Feb 2021.  Turbo Tax software rejected it.  It suggested to make the corrections using 1040X.  It turns out that Turbo Tax Premier had a glitch.  It keeps giving error that I sold Employee Stocks which I never did.  Because the software will not allow 1040X to be E Filed, I printed and sent it out.  I called IRS at least 3 times and I was told it will take a long time to process 1040X.  

 

I finally talked to someone from IRS today, 1 Feb 2022..  My 1040X was on hold.  After almost an hour explaining about the software glitch, she made a referral on my 1040X fro someone to look at it a little deeper.  I was told that some will be in touch within 30 days.  However it could take 16 weeks to 6 mos before this return is completely resolved.

 

She also said that I can go ahead and process and e file my 2021 Tax Return.  However I have to change the AGI for 2020  to $0 because it has not been process.  When I start Turbo Tax Premier 2021, How can I change the AGI for 2020?
