My return is being rejected by the IRS because my wife's AGI is not correct. What can I do to view and correct this problem?

If you filed jointly last year, you and your spouse will use the same number for each of your AGI's.

If you were married in 2019, and each filed separate returns for 2018, you each would use the AGI from your individual returns.

We filed a married, joint return in 2018 through Turbotax. When asked by Turbotax this year what my AGI was from last year, I entered the amount of AGI that I found on last years return and Turbo tax said that it was correct. There was not a question asking for the AGI for my wife. Since we filed a joint return, I assume that TurboTax used the same AGI for my wife. My 2019 return is being rejected by the IRS because the PIN/AGI reported by my wife does not match their records. I found a work sheet from the 2019 tax return where a PIN was not listed for my wife. I entered my PIN number as I filled out the forms last year and did not enter separate PINs. How can I know what number TurboTax used for the AGI for my wife for this year. If it is incorrect, can I change it? How? If it is correct, I can only conclude that I have to file by mail.
