Since the actual error code and description are "IND-032-04 - 'SpousePriorYearPIN' or 'SpousePriorYearAGIAmt' in the Return Header must match the e-File database," the IRS software must be comparing prior year AGI & PIN info in the IRS's e-File database to that same info in this year's "Return Header" and finding a mismatch. So... what exactly is this "Return Header," and what info is included in it? I don't think there's any prior-year spousal AGI info in the return itself (it's in unsubmitted worksheets), so I'm guessing TurboTax extracts it from last year's e-filing and attaches it (with other data) to this year's e-filing as part of a "Return Header" as an identity verification tool. TurboTax, is there a way a user can see the "Return Header" being submitted to the IRS along with their return? I don't mean a description of a Return Header -- I mean the Return Header itself. I assume the info in the Return Header is accurate, but it would be nice if users could confirm this themselves. Who knows, maybe seeing the Return Headers would allow users to catch mistakes they themselves have made. Signed, a long-time TurboTax user who happens to be from the Show-Me State.
