My AGI from 2018 was entered correctly. Yet it rejects it for a lower AGI. When I put that number in that of course is incorrect. What do I enter for AGI 2018?

    See this TurboTax FAQ on how to find your AGI

    You can get free 2018 tax transcript from the IRS

    https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

    If you filed late last year there is a good chance that the 2018 AGI never was entered into the e-file database. Try using 0 (zero) for the AGI.

    If you filed an amended return use the AGI on the first filed tax return.

    If it continues to reject then the AGI in the IRS database might be in error. Mail filing is the only option.

    Just realized my 2018 taxes did not efile correctly. I entered the the 2018 AGI from my printed copy of2018 taxes. Just received an error noticed that my efile of my 2019 is rejected to incorrect 2018 AGI.  How do I fix this?
