Federal return rejected - AGI

skpumpelly — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 09:46:52 GMT

My e-file Federal is being reject because it says my AGI is incorrect, but I copied it from last year's tax form. I've tried going onto the IRS website to get a copy of last year's tax return, but it says they can't help me at this time. How can I get my e-file excepted?

If it was rejected for AGI—-be aware that many 2020 returns took so long for the IRS to process that your 2020 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.

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

I will try submitting w/o the AGI.

Thank you!!!
