Wouldn't putting a 0 for the 2017 AGI when the amount is actually something else constitute a false filing? Has the IRS approved this method for correcting their database rejection?
The AGi you enter is NOT part of your tax return. It is simply to identify you to the IRS e-file system by matching the 2017 AGI with what they have stored in their database. If you filed late in 2017 then they have nothing in the database so zero is the correct amount.
