AGI for electronic filing

cleeburt — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 05:39:52 GMT

My Federal Return keeps getting rejected due to last year's AGI. I verified that the 2020 AGI is correct both on TurboTax and on the IRS website.

I file Married Filing Jointly so I plugged the whole AGI in for me and $0 for my wife. The return rejected. 2nd try I split the AGI and it totaled to last year's amount. 3rd try I placed 0's for both of our AGI's.

I had the same issue last year and just gave up and mailed my return in. I don't want to be a reject! Any suggestions?

assuming you file a timely joint return for 2020, the AGI is the same for both of you. from line11 of the 2020 return.
