Rejection Due to IND-032-04 - Spouse Prior Year Pin or AGI must match e-File Database

[Danny7700]

IRS rejects Federal Return due to “IND-032-04 – Spouse Prior Year PIN or Spouse Prior Year AGI Amt in the Return Header must match the e-File database.” When I open the 2021 Return, and click Help Me Fix It, TurboTax gives option of correctly entering the 2020 AGI. I entered the amount from the 2020 Return, line 11. This exactly matches the amount on the IRS 2020 Tax Return Transcript downloaded from irs.gov. I also verified e-file PIN in the 2021 Return Information Worksheet matched e-file PIN in the 2020 Return Information Worksheet. How do I fix this?

If you've tried all of the solutions here and you're still getting rejected, print and mail your return instead. You won't have to deal with AGI issues this way. Select File by mail to print your return, and mail it to the IRS.

Entering the AGI for a married filing joint Federal return for the spouse did not work for us. I tried entering 0 for the spouse AGI and it worked.

Thanks for the advise given in entering 0 for the AGI for 2020 for my spouse.  This was so confusing because we filed jointly and they were asking for the AGI for my spouse which was showing as the AGI for our 2020 joint return.

I tried changing the AGI to for my spouse to 0 and re-submitted.  Yeah!!! they accepted my return.  This seems like a glitch in their system.  Thanks for the advise.  It worked!!!
