the income is duplicated for me and my wife even if she didn't make any money. Is that correct?

On a joint tax return, Yes.

My return is rejected because after I entered my AGI for last year it is saying the AGi for my spouse is incorrect. We files together and only have one AGi. Some people from previous years with the same problem are saying to enter 0, is that still the case?

Turbo Tax has an option, where it allows you to fix that issue. Check your email or in the note you received about the rejection of tax return. They will take you step by step, but basically you check your 2015 AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) number, usually is line "37" on the form 1040. Once you check that number, then compare it to the AGI number that was submitted when you did your 2016 taxes. Hopefully, that will help you out.

This is good news, thanks for replying, Anilmandru. The bad news is that the Turbotax directs are totally misleading. I had the idea of using 0 (since my wife had no income last year) but I forgot about it after reading these directions. I will follow your advice next year. Too bad for Turbotax. We pay for this service, it should come with a warranty.

vija06 — Fri, 07 Jun 2019 21:59:31 GMT

I just tried this today morning and it worked for me as well.. @manel i dont think u can enter it as 0 next year... the only reason i entered 0 was .. last year.. my wife status was with ITIN. this year she has a ssn. I believe the automatic system is not able to match the SSN and ITIN and expecting 0. Ideally, if we file jointly we should enter the primary person's AGI if the spouse is not employed..

Same here. My wife had an ITIN. Thanks for your comment!

Hey! So last year my wife had a ssn and this year she doesn;t so she used her itn this year and it's not working. Wondering if I use "0" this year will affect it since she will be gettin a ssn next year?
