Married in 2018. My wife forgot to file in 2017. Can I still file online for 2018? It won't accept her AGI from last year since she didn't file.

Yes, you can file jointly with her on-line for 2018. 

You need to use $0 as her AGI because the IRS does not have a 2017 return on file for her.

You will need to prepare her 2017 tax return in with a TurboTax CD/Download product, print and mail the tax return. The IRS is no longer accepting 2017 tax returns via e-file.
