Illinois state filing rejected

old_school — Thu, 08 Apr 2021 20:30:49 GMT

My IL state return was rejected. I recorded all last years AGI under my name which was correct and I put 0 AGI last year for my wife. I believe that is why it was rejected. I cannot find how to get back to that verification question in Turbo Tax. I now believe the same number must be listed for both our names since we file jointly.

To go back, here are the steps:

In the TurboTax desktop program,

Open up the program,
From the top, select Review
Follow prompts

To locate your AGI, click here: AGI

If you are repetitively rejected with the correct AGI, I will suggest you to paper-file. Click here: Correct AGI got rejected

you are correct. if you filed jointly in 2019 the agi is the same for you both when doing the 2020 returns. but how could you e-file the Federal if you used different AGI's it should have been rejected.
