I'm trying to file my 2020 taxes for the first time and everytime it gets rejected asking me to correct my 2019 AGI. As I didn't file for 2019 and was claimed as dependent it would be 0, so I enter 0 and it gets rejected everytime.

    Try saying that you did not file a 2019 return.   If that does not work, and using zero will not work then you have to print, sign and mail your return.

     

    When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

    Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
