How do I file a return if I did not file in the prior year?

2016breaks · ‎February 11, 2026

Im trying to file for the first time for my daughter. She did not need to file last year, but the return was rejected because I don't have a primary or prior year AGI. How do I work around this?

Since a 2024 tax return was not filed, enter a 0 (zero) for the 2024 AGI and e-file again.

Note - She must be age 16 or older to e-file her tax return.

Use zero for her AGI. How do I find last year's AGI?
