e-file rejection

When I e-file I keep getting rejected. It keeps asking for my wifes AGI.

We filed jointly and I write in OUR Adjusted Gross Income, but it keeps getting rejected.

Your wife's AGI is the same as yours if you filed jointly.  It's the ssame amount for both of you.  It just seems weird that they's word it like they did.

Use whatever is on Line 11 of 2020 1040 form.  If that does not work try zero.  If zero rejects, you can mark that you did not file in 2020 and the efile will go through.  The IRS does not care, it is an e-file requirement from Intuit.

Please see the below TurboTax help article for a list of potential reasons your return is being rejected due to the AGI. 

What if I entered the correct AGI and I'm still getting an e-file reject?
