Wow, this is super frustrating. I have spent 3 days trying to get my joint return filed and have been getting the same error message using Turbo Tax. My husband passed away last year so it appears that this is the problem. What is really frustrating is that I clicked on all of the Turbo Tax information that is supposed to tell you the common reasons that your e-filing is rejected based on an incorrect AGI. None of those ever said that it could be (or is) because the spouse is deceased. I only found this thread by googling the issue. It seems as if Turbot Tax has now known about this for months and hasn't even bothered to put this as an informative statement. I wouldn't have wasted all this time trying to get tax transcripts, etc. I do not want to paper file for a number of reasons, including the difficulty I have in getting to a post office right now. Not happy.
