E-file getting rejected - turbotax deluxe

If you filed jointly last year, the IRS considers you as a single taxable entity, and you have the same AGI. Which would be Box 11 of your Form 1040, as you stated above.  You can try deleting and re-entering the amount. A rejected return can count toward the 5 e-files for TurboTax Desktop. 

Some things to check: 

• If you filed late last year (after mid-November) or your return was processed after that time—try entering a  0 for your spouses AGI.
• If you amended your tax return last year, make sure you’re using the AGI from your original return, not the amended one. 
• If you rounded to the nearest dollar amount, make  sure to round up when it’s 50 cents or more and down when it’s 49 cents or less.
• If you filed jointly, both you and your spouse have the same AGI. Don't enter 0 for one of you.

 If you entered the amount correctly and you continue to get a reject, you won't be able to e-file. There may be a data mismatch at the IRS.

You can contact TurboTax Customer Support using this link: Turbo Tax Customer Support, to inquire about your e-file status (the number of e-files you have left). Unfortunately, we can not see that information here in the TurboTax Community.

Try entering a zero for your spouse's AGI. This may allow you to successfully e-file.

You can also try deleting the number and reentering it to clear the data field if entering zero does not work.

 If you entered the amount correctly and you continue to get a reject, you won't be able to e-file.  You will have to mail your tax return. I have included instructions below.
