I e-filed my return and it got rejected due an incorrect AGI. I used the corrected value of last years AGI, because I had to amend my return last year (I forgot to add a 1099 Div...small amount, but I had to enter it). As I attempt to correct this, should I use the original AGI? I just want to make sure it doesn't get rejected again.

The 2019 AGI from the original 2019 tax return must be used when e-filing the 2020 tax return.

2019 Form 1040 Line 8b

If the IRS rejects the tax return for an incorrect AGI then enter a 0 (zero) for the 2019 AGI and e-file again.

Ok, thanks...I forgot to mention my first entry cam from the 1040-X. I'm going to try using the AGI from the original filing....is this ok?
