    The 2020 AGI is Not on a W-2.  It is on the 2020 federal tax return you filed Form 1040 Line 11

    Then try entering a 0 (zero) for the 2020 AGI and e-file the 2021 tax return again.

    Your adjusted gross income will not be on your W-2.  Look at your 2020 Federal return from last year and your AGI will be on line 11.  You will need to see your federal return form from 2020.

    Try using 0 for the AGI.  The IRS took a long time to process 2020 returns so the AGI didn't get entered in time.  Zero has been working for most people.  This is a common question.
