Question

I have e-filed my 2020 taxes several times in the last couple of days. The last reject was stating that my spouses AGI didn't match 2019 taxes. Can you help?

I verified AGI on 2019 line 8b. I entered the same number for both of us. Still rejected. Can you assist?

If it was rejected for AGI—-be aware that many 2019 returns took so long for the IRS to process that your 2019 AGI might not be in the IRS system. Try using zero instead.

If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year. The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.

Or—-if you filed as a “non-filer” just to get the stimulus check on a 2019 return, try using $1 as the AGI.

If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.
