If I didn’t work in 2019, wouldn’t my AGI be $0? If so, why is it getting rejected?

[aa_smith08]

I am married my husband and I has always filed jointly, this is the first year I filed separately. I don’t understand why my tax return keeps getting rejected.

If you filed the 2019 tax return as Married Filing Jointly then the 2019 AGI is the same for the both of you.

So I need to put what my husband put for his?

I also have another question. 

when I filed my taxes, I filed separately for the first time since being married. It asked me some information that I had to enter my husbands information for. Since my return keeps getting rejected, would that be the reasoning as to why my husbands return hasn’t been deposited yet?

Filing separately and you have not yet filed your tax return yet should not have any bearing on your spouse not having received his tax refund.
