2018 agi

Our return keeps getting rejected because our 2018 AGI is wrong apparently. We have our 2018 return and we have the right number. We have tried everything to fix it and it keeps getting rejected.

The IRS uses your prior year AGI to combat fraud. 

 

You can find your 2018 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) by:

 

  • Looking at line 7 on page 2 of your 2018 Form 1040; or
  • You can request a transcript of your 2018 tax return from the IRS to ensure you have the right number. You can request your transcript online at the following link: Get Transcript 

Check these items as well to ensure you have the correct number.  If you:

  • Filed late last year after mid-November or your return was processed after that time—try entering 0.
  • Amended your return last year—make sure you’re using the AGI from your original return, not the amended one. (If you only have a 1040X form, it’s on line 1, column A).
  • Rounded your AGI to the nearest dollar—be sure to round up when it’s 50 cents or more and down when it’s 49 cents or less.
  • Filed with your spouse last year—you and your spouse have the same 2018 AGI. (Don’t split the AGI amount or enter 0 for one of you).

 

Unfortunately, without the correct number, your only option would be to print and mail in your return. 

 

This article will give you instruction on how to print and mail your return.

I filed through H&R block and they never sent me a 1040 form. 

My 2019 form is being rejected cause I may not have the accurate number.

I dont know if it's the total amount tax we got back last year and our yearly income between my spouse and me. 

PLEASE help me out. 

I didnt have this issue before.

Please see this Turbo Tax FAQ on how to find your AGI from last year. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/how-do-i-find-last-year-s-agi/01/25947
