Question

What AGI is used if the previous year one of us filed separately and the other didn’t file until it was amended to reflect married filing jointly?

One was accidentally filed married filing separately. The other person didn’t file. Then amended to file jointly. We enter the before amended Agi for the filed separate person but don’t know what to put for the other person.

If you ended up filing a joint return then your 2020 AGI is the same for each of you.  But often the AGI for an amended return does not make it into the system, so you might need to try just using zero.
