Illinois Secondary Taxpayer AGI

Illinois return - Is the prior year AGI for the secondary taxpayer the same as the primary taxpayer’s when married filing jointly (when signing to eFile)? This part always gives us a headache every year.

Yes, when filing Married Filing Jointly, your secondary taxpayer's AGI is the same as the primary taxpayer's AGI.

My IL filing was rejected because that said my wifes Drivers License number does not match their records. I have tried to go back in and enter the secondary taxpayer AGI but the software will not let me get back to that page.
