Get your taxes done using TurboTax

TurboTax Community,

 

After conducting more research, it seems that we should have an opportunity to input AGI from line 7 of the 2018 federal tax filing into TurboTax, in order to meet the identity requirements of the IRS for the 2019 efile   See this guidance below from a competitor to TurboTax:

When going through the steps outlined in the TurboTax help, there isn't a screen offered in which to enter the 2018 AGI.  Instead, the screens go through NYS identification in our case, and then the random number screen, and then "You're ready to eFile!" 

 

If you look at the www.efile.com screen shot in the link above, you'll see they offer a prompt to enter last year's AGI.

 

And I recall this feature was available in previous efilings using TurboTax.  This may be a TurboTax-specific glitch for 2019 filings.  And, it would explain why those of us who received a CP01A in the past didn't receive one this year, if AGI is the now the IRS' method of verifying identity, as an earlier poster to this thread indicated.

 

Turbo experts, any further guidance?
