How do I amend my AGI after my return was rejected? I cannot get back to the AGI portion of the return.

[tianna247]

My 2016 AGI was supposed to be filed as separate for my husband and I, but turbotax had selected the joint files option. A wrong number was input, so it was rejected. I need to get back and select a separate AGI with different numbers.

To correct your prior-year AGI and re-file your return, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your account and select the Fix my return button.
2. At the Hi, welcome back to TurboTax message, select the first Fix It Now button (under FEDERAL Return Rejected).
3. On the following screen, you'll see The IRS already rejected this number: [followed by a dollar amount].
4. Change that dollar amount to the AGI from your originally-filed 2016 return (or enter 0 if you didn't file last year), then select Continue e-filing.
