Turbo Tax question as to whether my wife filed a 2017 or 2018 return

My wife and I filed joint state returns for 2017 and 2018 using TT.  For 2019 TT asks if I filed such a return and upon answering yes, auto-filled last years AGI.  TT next asked if my wife filed a return for 2017 or 2018.  A yes answer, because we filed a joint return, did not auto-fill the AGI for the joint return.  Should the AGI be left blank for my wife or should the same AGI be entered.  If the latter, why did not TT auto-fill.  Finally, should the answer to the question as to whether my wife filed a return for 2017 or 2018 be no because she did not file a separate return?  A no answer requires entering her state ID but then appears to continue to allow for e-filing.  I will be getting a return from the state and would therefore like to file as soon as possible.  I don't want the processing delayed because of an incorrect answer to this question.  Thank you in advance for any help on this issue.

Yes, enter the same AGI amount for both you and your wife.You can say yes she filed a return in prior year's. It should not affect your efile status. I don't know why it didn't autofill.
