If you filed jointly last year, the AGI is the SAME for both of you, it is not allocated between the two of you.

All you need to do is go back in and put the same AGI for her as you did yourself and your return should go through fine.

the 2017 AGI is the same for both of you if you filed a joint tax return in 2017
