I have not filed my 2019 taxes, however I want to use my agi from 2019 on my 2020 taxes in order to claim the CTC (i made more in 2019). I have my taxes completed, but I can only send them in through mail according to the IRS. If I went to a tax preparer, would they be able to file my 2019 taxes electronically so I can use my numbers from 2019 on my 2020 taxes?

No. In order to be able to use your 2019 AGI on your 2020 return, the 2019 return would need to be accepted and processed by the IRS. 

 

The average time for a 2019 return is 3 months, and currently the IRS is backlogged and still processing some 2019 returns.
