Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Effective tax rate is something Turbo Tax uses to help see where you stand, see which w2 is deficient, etc. It should be the tax divided by the total income, not the AGI. It is a number without any real value other than just to let you know when you earn $1, about x% is taxed.
