I was divorced in 2017. Can I e-file using the 2016 combined AGI for myself and my spouse?

Yes, you should E-File using the 2016 combined Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) for yourself and your spouse. Do not allocate or split the AGI, as this will cause your return to reject.  Enter the full 2016 AGI amount from last year's return, even if your former spouse earned 100% of the income.
