I lost my husband on 3-3-2019. I am filing my 2019 taxes as married filing jointly because he received social security & pension from the dept of defense. is this correct?

Yes you can file a Joint return for the year he died.  Enter all his income as usual.

I have done that and it is still rejecting the requested 2018 AGI of my husband. We filed married filing jointly every year so there is only one AGI and I am entering it correctly. Is there a way to split the AGI?

While the IRS says you can file electronically after the death of a spouse, very often you have to file by mail. 

I am sorry for your loss.

There is no way to split the AGI. Unfortunately, you will have to file by mail this year. In future years you will be able to e-file electronically. 

From your remarks, you seem to be doing everything correctly. You are filing Married Filing Jointly and adding in all of your husband's income. I would just continue on and choose File By Mail in the File section of TurboTax.

Thank you so much for your help. I have printed everything and mailed my return already. Thank you and thanks for your kind words.
