Solved

Same TT account as last year, but my Spouse AGI was rejected. Filed jointly and no amendments were made. Why is it being rejected? The amount matches the transcript!

Solved according to user in above comments. TurboTax Support suggested trying $0 as the spouse AGI following the initial rejection, and user reports it was successful.

If you filed a joint 2017 return the AGI is the same for each of you.

"my husband's was accepted.." Are you filing separate returns for 2018 instead of filing jointly again?

no - still filing jointly - which is why I don't understand why it is being rejected... the information should be exactly the same

And you are entering it all on the SAME tax return?

Maybe user means the rejected notice only mentions the spouse AGI? Perhaps user should post the actual rejection message.

Correct - we filed jointly, as last year, but the error is only coming back that the Spouse information is wrong: IND-032-04 'SpousePriorYearAGIAmt' in the Return Header must match the e-File database.

That is odd. For some reason the IRS doesn't think the 2017 AGI you entered for Spouse is what is in their database. You say you've already check the figure on a "transcript", so I presume that means you acquired an official IRS transcript. Since it should be the same figure used for the primary taxpayer, then the only thing I can think of is to be sure it was typed in the box correctly without a typo such as transposed numbers, etc. I'd highlight the field then click "delete" to remove the data completely, and re-enter it making sure there is no space after it.

What month did you file the return last year? Did you file it prior to November 2018?

I filed in April 2018 and I thought about the typo thing as well, which is why I resubmitted it a second time with the same number... I even tried calling Turbo Tax, because the number is actually automatically pulled from the 2017 return as I also filed that through TT...but you have to pay for Live to talk to someone... hence the reason I'm looking for some help here! I know I can send it in the mail, but I live overseas and my return is a book... so I would really rather e-file!
