Assisting my daughter who is a first time filer. I have claimed her as a dependent in the past but this is her first time to file without being claimed on my return. The forms are asking for her AGI for last year even though she did not file. I entered zero as the prompt suggested but the tax return was rejected.

What should I have put?

Using a zero for the 2018 AGI was correct if she did not file a 2018 tax return. If the IRS is rejecting the 2019 tax return even with the correct AGI then it will have to be printed and mailed.
