AGI

I am getting an IND-032-04 rejection from the IRS on my "Married Filing Jointly" (E-File) return. Neither one of us had IRS PINs last year so I am trying to understand what "SpousePriorYearAGIAmt" means. We filed jointly in 2019 as well as this year, so we cannot have separate AGI amounts. There is only One AGI for both of us, but the Turbotax interview is asking me for separate AGIs. So I went to 1040 Line 8B for 2019 and entered that same amount for both of us in the interview. What's wrong here? There is only one Line 8B and there can be only one AGI for both of us if we are filing jointly. Not separate ones. I think these separate AGI amounts, that the interview is demanding, is causing the rejection.

Update: I resolved the rejection by re-entering Turbotax 2020 and changing my spouse's 2019 AGI to zero, while keeping my 2019 AGI at the 2019 1040 Line 8B amount, which I knew was correct. The IRS accepted it. But I still don't understand why the Turbotax 2020 interview demands separate AGI amounts for a 2019 return that was filed jointly. There is no such thing. I think there is a fault in the Turbotax 2020 software because I didn't have this problem last year and the scenario was exactly the same.

You are correct, if you filed a joint return for 2019, then the same AGI will be used for both you and your spouse.

Is it possible that the number was just entered incorrectly by mistake. Try to file your return one more time. If it still rejects, take a look at the following TurboTax article for more information and possible solutions:
