I am filing separately this year after filing jointly when I was married last year. AGI was rejected even though it was correct based on the numbers on my return. Help?

I did file in a different state also

If you filed a joint return for 2024, the AGI on line 11 of your 2024 Form 1040 is the same for both spouses.   If that amount is not working because you filled late or amended, try using zero instead.

Did you use the AGI from line 11 on the Joint return?   Try entering 0 for the AGI. The IRS might have processed your return later so the AGI didn't get entered in time.  Especially if you mailed it.  That works for most people. See,

If you can’t get it to efile you will have to print and mail it.

Be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them.  You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places.  Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.

 

ps.....Also did you set up  your own new account this year?  You should not use the Joint account or transfer from the Joint return.
