IRS rejects my efile because it does not recognize the AGI
amount from 2019 1040 --SR return, but that amount is correct and comes directly from that return.
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
On your 2019 tax return, your AGI is on line 8b of the Form 1040.
When e-filing your return for the current year, use the AGI from the prior year's originally filed accepted return.
The current return will reject if the amended AGI amount is used. Do not use amounts from an amended return, a corrected amount from a math error notice, or a changed amount from the IRS.
If your previous year tax returns are not available, you can use the IRS Get Transcript tool. Try the online option first. If you are unable to obtain the transcript online, you can have one sent to the address the IRS has on record for you. You can find IRS Get Transcript here.
Finally, the last resort is to mail your tax return. TurboTax will print an instruction sheet explaining where to mail the returns.

I'm having the same problem. I even requested an IRS transcript to verify our 2019 AGI.
They all match, but our return was still rejected :(
Here is information about the 2019 AGI and filing.
Thank you for your answer. Very helpful.
I filed a joint return last year. Turbo Tax is asking for last years AGI for me and my wife separately. The AGI on my tax return shows a joint AGI. How do I break it out or do I put the same amount in both?

Since you filed the 2019 tax return as Married Filing Jointly, the 2019 AGI is the same for the both of you.
Thanks

i do not have last year taxes from you i saved but when i try to find file it updates to new vyear cannot use your **bleep**ing site to get AGI

There are three ways you can use to locate your AGI:
If you have your last year's tax return, read here: Find your AGI
If you used TurboTax online to file, you can access your account here Login and download a copy of your prior year’s 1040 tax return to find your AGI. Click here for instructions: Prior year's return
If you do not have a copy of the tax forms, you may order a transcript from the IRS. Click here Get Transcript and select "Get Transcript Online " or request a full copy of your past year's tax return. Click here: https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-4506
Once you obtained your 2019 AGI, follow this link Fix a reject to return to your account to enter your AGI and re-submit.

My TurboTax e-fining was initially rejected because "Last year AGI" did not match what IRS had on record, even though my last year AGI input matched exactly the amount shown on my IRS.gov report.
I later discovered that you must enter "0" as the last year AGI if you meet one of the conditions (we filed after November 10th), instead of the actual last year AGI. So I put Last year AGI of "0", and the TurboTax e-file was accepted.
So my daughter was married last year and her and her husband filed joint. They mailed in their return. This year, when trying to efile, they are each asked to supply the AGI, but their joint AGI was rejected. There is no individual AGI to report, so how can they efile?
thanks
Meg
