IND-031-04 - The primary taxpayer's AGI or Self-select PIN from last year does not match IRS records.
    Best answer by DoninGA

    You have to enter the 2017 AGI as shown on the 2017 tax return -

    Form 1040 – Line 37
    Form 1040A – Line 21
    Form 1040EZ – Line 4

     

    If you filed a 2017 late in 2018 or you did not file a 2017 tax return, then enter a 0 (zero) for the 2017 AGI and e-file again.  If the IRS rejects the tax return again then you will need to print and mail the tax return.

    See this TurboTax support FAQ for the procedure to print a tax return for mailing when using the online editions - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/printing/help/how-do-i-print-and-mail-my-return-in-turbotax-online/01/26258

     

    If you have taxes owed on the 2018 return then include a copy of the first rejection email you received when mailing the federal tax return so that you will not be penalized for filing after the due date if you filed an extension request.

    I submitted my taxes and they were rejected. The error message received was "the primary taxpayer's AGI or Self-select PIN from last year does not match IRS records". Both are correct however. How can this be resolved.

    When did you file 2018? If it was late in the year try putting in zero for the AGI. And see, https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/rejections/help/what-if-i-entered-the-correct-agi-and-i-m-still-getting-an-e-file-reject/00/27031

    If your spouse died during 2019 there is a problem efiling and you will have to mail your return

    Be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them.  You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places.  Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.

    The email you received from TurboTax tells you why the federal tax return was rejected.  What does it say?

    The IRS uses your prior year AGI to combat fraud. 

     

    You can find your 2018 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) by:

     

    • Looking at line 7 on page 2 of your 2018 Form 1040; or
    • You can request a transcript of your 2018 tax return from the IRS to ensure you have the right number. 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 2018 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.

    AGI is Adjusted Gross Income.  You need your 2018 AGI to efile 2019. The AGI is on 2018 1040 line 7. If you filed a Joint return you use the same AGI for each spouse.

    I got the letter with the e-file PIN that is 6-digits.  The space allowed in the form will only allow 5-digits?

    First, make sure you're using the same TurboTax account (with the same username) as in prior years. Otherwise, the below instructions won't work.

    If you're signing in for the first time this year, we may ask you some questions before you get to the Tax Home screen where you can access your prior year returns. 

    If you need to find an account, our account recovery tool can help you find your User ID or password.

    Please see the TurboTax FAQ's below for additional assistance:
