Issue filing 2020 taxes

[BigJohn1971]

I mailed my 2019 taxes April 20, 2021 and I am trying to file my 2020 taxes now and it is asking me for 2019 AGI but my 2019 processed yet. I have tried to E-file twice and it says my AGI isn't correct.  So how do I file without that?

If your 2019 income tax return hasn't been processed by the IRS, use $0 for your 2019 AGI amount. If you still can't e-file, see What if I entered the correct AGI and I’m still getting an e-file reject?

Thanks I tried it and just received another rejection. I just don't know if I should hold on to it till the 2019 clears or just mail it in. I'm afraid if the open 2020 before that it will get set aside for review or something.

Did you try all of the steps listed in the link posted by HelenC12 above?  There are several options provided.

If you have tried them all and are still getting an error, I would recommend mailing your tax return in so it gets processed soon rather than later.  It will take a bit more time but hopefully it gets processed before the end of the year so you can electronically file next year.
