Filing my teenage daughter's first tax form. She had no income last year and thus no 2021 AGI exists. I want to efile, but IRS rejects the form because of an AGI mismatch. Intuit says to put a zero in the AGI box. I tried that, but it still rejects. I played out a couple of options, but none work. Has anyone else solved this problem? I'm hoping to not file a paper form. Thanks!
If it was rejected for AGI—-be aware that many 2021 returns took so long for the IRS to process that your 2021 AGI might not be in the IRS system. Try using zero instead.
If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year.
The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.

If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.
