You will need to contact the IRS for information about your 2023 return. It might be easiest to set up an account with them.
IRS Individual Online Account
- Taxpayers with a Social Security number or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number can create or access their IRS Individual Online Account to get information they need to file their return.
- With an IRS Individual Online Account, people can:
- View balance owed, payment history and schedule payments.
- Cancel scheduled payments.
- Get transcripts.
- View or create payment plans.
- See digital copies of some IRS notices.
- View key data from their most recently filed tax return, including adjusted gross income.
- Validate bank accounts and save multiple accounts, eliminating the need to re-enter bank account information every time they make a payment.
- View, approve and electronically sign power of attorney and tax information authorizations from their tax professional.
The IRS uses your prior year AGI to combat fraud. I would try using 0 for your AGI.
You can find your 2023 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) by:
- Looking at line 11 on page 1 of your 2023 Form 1040
- Requesting a transcript of your 2023 tax return from the IRS. You can request your transcript online at the following link: Get Transcript

Check these items as well to ensure you have the correct number. If you:
- Filed late last year after mid-November or your return was processed after that time—try entering 0.
- Amended your return last year—make sure you’re using the AGI from your original return, not the amended one. (If you only have a 1040X form, it’s on line 1, column A).
- Rounded your AGI to the nearest dollar—be sure to round up when it’s 50 cents or more and down when it’s 49 cents or less.
- Filed with your spouse last year—you and your spouse have the same 2023 AGI. (Don’t split the AGI amount or enter 0 for one of you).
Time-saving Tip: If what you entered is correct and you continue to get a reject, you won't be able to e-file. There's probably a data mismatch at the government, or some other situation beyond your control that prevents your return from being e-filed. In this case, your only option would be to print and mail in your return.
This article will give you instruction on how to print and mail your return.
