I want to offer HELP to folks having problems with their 2020 tax return.

I had to file my 2019 return on paper; Just as the USA & IRS shut down for #Covid19. My return is in limbo, still. Only recently, was the #IRS able to confirm that they HAD received it in April 2020.

Now, I am E-Filing my 2020 Tax Return. To confirm my identity, the #IRS asks for my 2019 AGI. Done. But my 2020 Return is REJECTED. I called the IRS for help, & got none. Their rep could only suggest that I print & MAIL my 2020 return, too.
I actually said, "Uh, HELL NO."

While I pondered, TurboTax reached out to me, online. They noticed my rejected return, in their system, and were offering help!!! I validated my phone number and I spoke with a nice lady that knew what to DO.

Because the #IRS has Not YET Processed my 2019 Return, I do not have a 2019 AGI in their system. The System Default is $ 0. (zero) She walked me through my 2020 E-File, I changed my validation answer to $ 0. It WORKED.

I will probably use @TurboTax for the rest of my life.

Yo @threadreaderapp please #unroll this for folks who need the help. Thanks, y'all.
