It's my first time and the guy on the phone told me there would be an option to say that it was my first time filing.

You have to use your prior-year AGI to validate your identify, but as a first-time filer who is over 16, enter zero as your AGI.

 

Refer to the IRS Validating your electronically filed tax return for more information.

You said an AGI of 0 didn't work.

I know you said this was your first time to file your return, but was any return filed in your name last year?   i.e., did your parents file a return for you in your name last year?
