https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/rejected-return-due-to-agi/01/1960357#M988191 <P>Hello, my mother has always claimed me as her dependent, but this year I started working and made over 50k, so I am filing my own taxes for the first time. However when I filed my taxes I entered ZERO as my AGI and it got rejected saying to enter the primary taxpayers AGI from last year... does that means that I have to enter my mothers AGI on MY tax return this year? I'm confused.</P> Sat, 20 Feb 2021 21:59:31 GMT RosaG 2021-02-20T21:59:31Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/rejected-return-due-to-agi/01/1960357#M988191 <P>Hello, my mother has always claimed me as her dependent, but this year I started working and made over 50k, so I am filing my own taxes for the first time.
