Last month, my hard drive failed and I lost all my files, including last year's tax return. I've tried looking for the hard copy that I printed out, but I can't find it. So now, I'm without the PDF or the hard copy, and I don't know what my AGI is.
I have my tax return from 2 years ago. Will that work? Or do I need the one for last year? Is it possible to ask for an extension when today is the last day for taxes? I'm nervous that I'm not going to get my taxes in on time.

Today is not the filing deadline. The deadline was moved to May 17 for federal tax and for most states.
Where do I find my AGI?

Your 2019 tax return shows your 2019 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) If you filed a joint return then the AGI is the same for each of you.
Form 1040 line 8b
If you are using the same TT account that you used last year, you should also be able to find this number in your Tax Home for 2019
If entering the amount from your 2019 tax return does not work, then try entering “0” instead. If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.
You can get a free transcript of your past return from the IRS:

Note: If you filed late or amended your return, your correct 2019 AGI may not be in the system.

If you used desktop software downloaded/installed from a CD to your own computer, then the tax files are stored locally on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive. They are not stored online. If you cannot recover them due to a hard drive failure, etc. you can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $50, an actual copy of your tax return.
