When I filed my 2018 return, I imported in all the W2 information. It was sent in, accepted, and I received my tax refund. Several weeks ago, I filed my 2019 return, and I am just now learning that it's been rejected. When I look at the 2018 return TurboTax has on file, the Wages and other information is missing and the AGI is wrong, so the IRS will not let me file the 2019 until this is corrected. My question is, how did TurboTax let this happen?

I want to file my 2019 return electronically, but just mailed my 2018 return last week. What figure should I use to file the 2019 return electronically, to avoid an error message and non acceptance. The IRS is woefully behind in processing returns so I know they haven't had time to do anything with mine, which includes a schedule C and E. Should I just use the total of the W-2s and 1099s the only information that is known to them as of last year? Or leave it blank. Needing guidance on how to proceed.
