Why does my AGI keep getting rejected?

If your return was rejected for an AGI or PIN mismatch, it means that what you entered doesn’t match their records. The IRS only requires one of these to match their records to get accepted. If you amended your 2019 tax return, make sure you’re using the AGI from your original return.

You only need a prior-year AGI if you are e-Filing your tax return to the IRS. An incorrect 2019 AGI on your 2020 return will result in a tax return rejection by the IRS and/or State Tax Agency. It is easy to correct your AGI and resubmit your return if this happens.
