I've never filed taxes before, so I didn't have an AGI. One of the options was "I didn't file last year" which is correct, but another option was "I didn't file, but I used the IRS tool to get the stimulus payment" which is also correct and the one that I chose because I thought some info is better than none.
I was given an AGI of $1, and it said "because you only filed LAST YEAR to register for the stimulus check and set up info with the IRS, your AGI is $1" which I thought was strange since 2021 is certainly not last year. I went through with filing, and was promptly sent rejection notifications for my State and Federal returns because my AGI didn't match.
In the app it made it seem like I had to file by mail if I haven't filed before, but other things I read made me think I could re-file if I changed my AGI to $0. I started to go through the process of trying to refile with the amended AGI, but it got to the part about payment. My credit card has already been charged by "US TREAS TAX PYMT" even though they rejected my returns.
My questions -
1) Can I refile on TurboTax with a $0 AGI and have it go through given that I've never filed taxes before?
2) Will I be charged again by the IRS?
3) Anything else I should know? This is all very confusing.
Thanks very much, in advance.
