Get your taxes done using TurboTax

1. You can try to file the ORIGINAL tax returns and use zero for your AGI.

The first year a taxpayer files, since they don't have an AGI from a tax return of the previous year, they must try zero, or $1, and if those numbers do not work, paper-file the returns. 

 

2. You are talking about the charge by the IRS for your tax payment. That first attempt should drop-off since that return was rejected but yes, the second attempt at filing may show a second attempt to make the charge. 

Only one charge will go through, but it may look like they are trying to charge twice.

 

3. If using Zero as your AGI also does not work for E-filing and your only option is to mail in the returns, you will need to include payment with the paper returns, OR you can set up an online account and pay the IRS directly and/or set-up an Identity PIN to use.
