Thanks. This helps. Too bad I didn't see this earlier. I would have saved 3 hours of trying to figure this out. It would help if Turbotax explained this or gave the option to add a SpousePriorYearPIN since it's required. My submission was originally rejected because the AGI didn't match when it did match but tried a 2nd time because I didn't know what was used. The second rejection was for the same reason so I entered 0 as her Prior Year AGI, then I got the rejection because I didn't submit a PIN for my spouse. It doesn't make sense that the IRS requires this on a joint return when a spouse has died but why don't turbotax give the option to meet this requirement. I paid extra so I could submit my return electronically. I can't start my taxes until the beginning of March since my 1099s don't arrive until then. Now I must file by mail and wait 4-6 weeks for my refund. I think a refund should be expected. I could have used the basic and saved $20.
