I filled jointly with my spouse, and Box 11 on our 1040 shows a 27K AGI. I have my 1040 in front of me and it shows that 27K. I'm being asked for my Spouses AGI, but we are filling jointly and she had no income. What should I put to not be rejected?

If you filed a joint return for 2022, you both have the same AGI, even if your spouse had no income that year.

I did that, and IRS still rejected it.

To give a little more context, I filed with H&R Block on 2022 and filed on paper (since my spouse needed an ITIN#). Turbo tax told me that it was rejected by the IRS and is asking for my spouse's AGI. When I input the same amount, it prompts me that the IRS could reject it again since that's what they originally rejected.

I was reading online that the AGI I should be inputting is $0.

Would that be true?

Is there anything bad with placing $0?

@jose501st The IRS took a very long time to process a tax year 2022 return that was mailed. There is a good possibility that the IRS does not have your 2022 AGI in their database. Entering a 0 (zero) for the 2022 AGI would be perfectly acceptable.
