Final step before submitting

At the final step of the process, it wanted to verify my spouse information using AGI from 2024 return. He didn't file a return (not working) but I did claim him as a dependent last year (vs spouse). I selected the last option which is he didn't file and no one could file for him. Was that correct?

Well....you cannot ever claim a spouse as a dependent, so hope you did not actually do that. You can file a joint return even if one spouse has little or no income---did you file jointly? If so, the AGI on line 11 of your 2024 Form 1040 is the same for each of you. Enter that same amount for your spouse.

We were not married last year so didn't file as married. Filed single with dependent because that part was true. He did not file at all

@Tragrl Oh----you did not mention that part! Then---use zero for his AGI or choose the answer that he did not file. For 2026----are you filing a joint return?
