E-filed returns getting rejected

DCosenza — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 06:56:50 GMT

My e-filed Feeral and New York state returns have been rejected twice due to "incorrect AGI" on last year's return (2020). I've downloaded a transcript of that year's 1040 and the AGI shown is the same as in TurboTax so it's not incorrect (I've also checked the math and all items...no problems).

The only curious thing is that it's saying "MY NAME's" AGI is incorrect but I'm filing married, jointly.

Is it a glitch? Solution?

Thanks for any help

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.
