After you file
Uh, sorry, no.
First off:
TurboTax Deluxe--CD version with updates
Macintosh
I use the "forms" method and then do review and file through the interview.
History:
I've tried to file 3 times. For the first 2 tries I used the 2019 AGI brought over by TT on the "carryover worksheet" and inserted automatically by TT. Yes, it was the correct number. I went to my account on the IRS website and verified that they had it and that it was correct. It was correct. On the second go-round I even took the number out and re-entered it manually. Didn't help.
After looking online, the third time I tried the suggestion of putting in a zero for the spouse's AGI. The return is still rejected. Self-selected PINS are same as 2019 and are entered correctly.
Yes, filing status for 2019 and 2020 are both MFJ--double-checked online also. Shows as MFJ on the carryover worksheet.
Sorry, but this is a BUG. If the return is filed MFJ there is absolutely NO reason to ask for the spouse's AGI. The AGI applies to both and the program should properly ask for the joint AGI: "What was Fred and Joyce's AGI for 2019?". When a program doesn't recognize one of its own settings (in this case the filing status) and asks inappropriate questions, I think that qualifies as a BUG.
Now I get to print TONS of pages, try and get a refund for my state filing that didn't go through, figure out how much it's gonna' cost to mail them... PITB. Grrrrrrrr. You'd think that 6 months after the initial filing date Intuit would have fixed this. But NO..... Grrrrrrrrr.
