My 2020 taxes were rejected due to AGI not matching. Sent my 2019 taxes in last week by mail, which means they haven't been received yet. Do I put $0 as my AGI for 2019?

I filed my 2019 taxes late which meant I had to send them my mail so the IRS hasn't received them yet. If I put $0 as my AGI will that mess things up when they do receive my taxes? Should I just wait till they receive my 2019 taxes before filing my 2020?

sometimes AGI = 0 works.

Otherwise, you will have to fila a paper return via US Mail.

If you are in no hurry you can wait till Apr 15, or even Oct 15 with extension of time, to see an e-File will work with your 2019 AGI amount.
