Can anyone explain why I keep getting my tax return rejected due to putting a wrong AGI when I putting the correct amount which appears in my tax return (line 11)?

 If it was rejected for AGI—-your 2024 AGI might not be in the IRS system if you filed late.   Try using zero instead.

 

If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year.  The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.

If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.

I have the same issue. It says my spouse's AGI is incorrect and we filed jointly last year.  I received our transcript from the IRS and we both have the correct AGI for 2024 entered. This makes no sense.

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. 

 

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

 

The IRS uses your prior year AGI to combat fraud. Make sure you take into account the information below.

 

You can find your 2024 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) by:

  • Looking at line 11 on page 1 of your 2024 Form 1040
  • Requesting a transcript of your 2024 tax return from the IRS. You can request your transcript online at the following link: Get Transcript

Please click on this TurboTax article for more information. 

 

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 2024 AGI. (Don’t split the AGI amount or enter  0  for one of you).
