E-File return getting rejected
Hi all. I submitted my 2021 return and it was rejected by the IRS within 30 minutes. The error indicated that my spouse's identity could not be verified because her AGI is incorrect (we file jointly). I checked the Turbo Tax entry and the AGI was correctly transferred from my 2020 return. I went to the IRS site and requested a transcript to verify the 2020 AGI. It is the same as my original filing. So, I manually re-entered the AGI amount for my 2021 return and filed it again. The IRS rejected it again, within 30 minutes, for exactly the same reason. Some of the solutions presented don't seem to cover this situation. Is there another way to determine what the IRS database actually has for a spouse AGI? Is there a way to determine what AGI value was actually transmitted to the IRS? I was going to try again with a value of 0, but not sure about it. All the transcripts I requested from the IRS show correct and consistent AGI (basically what would be on line 11). I suppose a strategy of waiting for another month to file to allow more updates to the software might be in order.
