If you were were married last year you have two options.
Married Filling Joint or Married Filing Separate.
In almost all situations Married Filing Joint is the preferred status and if you choose this option you include both incomes.
Going forward, if you are divorce and have a dependent, then you should review Head of Household status. If you qualify it would be a better option the filing Single.
Here’s a list of the filing statuses:
Are you asking what AGI to use for your 2020 return so that you can e-file? If you filed a joint return for 2019 the amount on line 8b is still your 2019 AGI even though you are not married now. If you do not have a copy of that return you can try to use zero. If zero will not let you e-file you will need to print sign and mail your 2020 return.
You do not put anything on your own return about your ex-spouse.
