You need to use the same AGI that you have on your 2018 return. If you can't get your 2018 AGI, then you would have to mail in your return.
The IRS requires your 2018 AGI to verify your identity for e-filing. If you're paper-filing your return, you won't need your AGI because those are manually processed.
There are a few places you can get your 2018 AGI:
You won't find your AGI on your W-2 or 1099 form because those forms don't take into account over a dozen above-the-line deductions that go into calculating your AGI.
If you didn't file a 2018 federal tax return (or you haven't filed one yet), enter 0 as your AGI.

I could do my taxes last year I won’t to add them on the one this year
If you are wondering about combining this year's tax return from the tax return for the last year, you are not able to do that. You will need to file a return for 2020 and a separate return for 2021.
