The 2019 AGI is on the 2019 federal tax return Form 1040 on Line 8b.

@Vcallier2021 This thread already explains how to find it several times---did you read this thread?

Where do I find my AGI?

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/00/270...

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.

Note:  If you mail your federal return, you will also need to mail your state return.  You will not be able to e-file your state return.

https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1944348-how-do-i-print-and-mail-my-return-in-turbotax-online

it is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it like UPS or certified mail.  Then you will know the IRS received it.

If you used the wrong AGI, your e-file  be rejected.  When you get the rejection notice, correct it and re-file.

Same I’ve tried like 3 times already

No. The AGI is not on your last year's W-2. The IRS requires your 2020 adjusted gross income (AGI) to verify your identity for e-filing. You won't find your AGI on your W-2 or 1099 form, because those forms don't take into account over a dozen above-the-line deductions that go into calculating your AGI.

To find your AGI and you have filed with TurboTax last year: 

1. Sign in to your TurboTax account
2. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents
3. Select View adjusted gross income (AGI) 
   • If you've already filed your 2021 tax return, you must select 2020 first.

If you have not filed with TurboTax last year, look at your 1040 return you filed with the IRS, look on Line 11 for your AGI. If you filed a 1040NR, look on Line 11.
