Get your taxes done using TurboTax

> What finally passed the IRS test was entering 0 for each of us. The tax return was accepted by the IRS.

 

I can confirm this is the only thing that worked. Really disappointing that none of the help pages or guides correctly identified this for people that filed by paper the previous year and are now e-filing. Thanks to rlambright for reporting this here!!!

 

If you filed by paper in a previous year, the previous-year's AGI you need to use to e-file this year is 0. Just 0. Nothing else. Not your actual AGI from last year. Just 0. For both you and your spouse.
