Please see What if I entered the correct AGI and I'm still getting an e-file reject? for assistance with your AGI issue.

Did you receive unemployment last year? If so, deduct $10,200 from AGI.

Try using zero as the AGI.

@Tk891 The only way to get the 1st and/or 2nd stimulus checks now is be preparing a 2020 tax return or amending your 2020 tax return and using the recovery rebate credit in the Federal Review section.   If you prepared a 2020 return and did not visit that section, then you will have to amend now.  Expect it to take quite awhile.

 

Select your tax year for amending instructions:

 

 

 

Even during “normal” times it takes about four months for the IRS to process an amended return.  During the pandemic and due to the severe backlog at the IRS it is taking much longer—six months or more for many amended returns.  Do not expect quick results from amending.  When the IRS issues a refund for an amended return it will be by check.  They do not make direct deposits for refunds for amended returns.  You can watch for information here:
