Efiling and Last Year AGI Rounding

I am preparing my parents' tax returns with TT so they can eFile. Last year they filed hardcopy return via US Mail. Last year they entered their AGI (line 8b) with cents included $xxx.xx. When I try to enter their 2019 AGI, TT wants to round it. I suspect it will not match. Any advice?

When you enter your AGI to e-file 2020---it is an exact dollar amount without "cents."

If it was rejected for AGI—-be aware that many 2019 returns took so long for the IRS to process that your 2019 AGI might not be in the IRS system. Try using zero instead.

If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year. The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.

Or—-if you filed as a “non-filer” just to get the stimulus check on a 2019 return, try using $1 as the AGI.

If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.
