Got married this year so filed jointly. Wife didn’t file last year. Entered $0 as her 2016 AGI and was Rejected. Entered my 2016 AGI as hers, was rejected. What next?

I would pull her account transcript from the IRS website.You will need to have the following information available:

Please have the following information and materials to complete registration:

• Full Name


• Email


• Birthdate


• Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN)


• Tax filing status (use single)


• Current address (you may need to try some prior addresses)

When you have access to the IRS transcript system, choose her 2016 account transcript - this will have the AGI that the IRS has on record for 2016.
