AGI for filing

I tried to look but didn’t see this asked.

I’m filing our 2021 taxes and the program is asking for last year’s AGI. I received unemployment in 2020 and the IRS automatically amended my return. Do I use my initial AGI when I filed or the AGI that the IRS got when they took out unemployment?

Thank you!

Looks like I just needed to do a bit more searching!

"E-Filing Your 2021 Tax Return

Next year, when you try to e-file your 2021 tax return, you will have to sign and validate your electronic return by entering your prior-year AGI or your prior-year Self-Select PIN. If you use your AGI, make sure to use the AGI as originally reported on Line 11 of your 2020 Form 1040 or 1040-SR. Don’t use the corrected AGI if the IRS adjusts your 2020 return to account for the unemployment exclusion."
