THIS BUG HAS FINALLY BEEN FIXED!!!!! But you may have to encounter it one more time before you see the solution. This never made any sense, to reject a return based on the spouse's AGI, because your spouse would NOT have their OWN AGI to begin with!!
Since Covid-19 extended the IRS deadline to July 15, I've been repeatedly trying to file my returns (completed in March!), hoping the "critical updates", that happen nearly every time you open TurboTax, would finally address this problem.
I opened TurboTax and got the updates and tried another e-File on July 5th. It failed, BUT, this time the error was different. No longer is it asking for the (deceased) spouses AGI, but for the AGI of the Primary tax payer (which it should have been asking for from the beginning). In other words, it's been a matter all along not of you providing the wrong answer, but TurboTax asking the wrong question.
So. If you haven't tried yet again to e-File lately, do it again, now, let it fail, but then do it one more time with the primary taxpayer's AGI.
It sails right through!
