Question

AGI for electronic filing

My Federal Return keeps getting rejected due to last year's AGI.  I verified that the 2020 AGI is correct both on TurboTax and on the IRS website.

 

I file Married Filing Jointly so I plugged the whole AGI in for me and $0 for my wife.  The return rejected.  2nd try I split the AGI and it totaled to last year's amount.  3rd try I placed 0's for both of our AGI's.  

 

I had the same issue last year and just gave up and mailed my return in.  I don't want to be a reject!  Any suggestions?

    assuming you file a timely joint return for 2020, the AGI is the same for both of you. from line11 of the 2020 return.
