AGI/PIN problem cited, but could it be something else in fact?

My federal form was just rejected for "incorrect AGI from 2018 OR wrong PIN."The AGI is directly from my tax forms last year, p 2 line 7. I created a new PIN this year; I don't know if I had one last year.
Later: OK, I checked with the IRS copy of my return; AGI remains accurate.
I discovered something else, though. I am legally separated, and last year I filed Married, Filing Separately, but this year just put Single. I have now amended to Married, Filing Separately and added my separated spouse's info - name/ss/filing info.
Could that be the problem, since it was CLEARLY not the AGI info, and since one can indeed select a new pin.

If your return says it is rejected due to AGI, that would be the reason for the reject.

 

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).

 

Time-saving Tip: If what you entered is correct and you continue to get a reject, you won't be able to e-file. There's probably a data mismatch at the government, or some other situation beyond your control that prevents your return from being e-filed. In this case, your only option would be to print and mail in your return.
