My return is rejected by IRS due to incorrect AGI.

If your Tax Return was rejected due to  AGI, you need to find the correct number and resubmit your return.

Your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) can be found on your 2017 Tax Return:

If you filed a:

  • 2017 Form 1040: your AGI can be found on line 37
  • 2017 Form 1040A: your AGI can be found on line 21
  • 2017 Form 1040 EZ: your AGI can be found on line 4

If you do not have a copy of your 2017 Tax Return, you can order a free transcript online from the IRS by clicking here: Get My Transcript.  Your IRS transcript will include your AGI from last year.

If you did not file last year, you should use -0- zero for your AGI. 

*If you filed jointly in 2017, the AGI amount will be the exact same number for both of you.

*If you Amended your 2017 return, use the AGI from your original return, NOT your Amended Return.

You can check out the TurboTax FAQ link for more details on Finding Your 2017 AGI

Once you find your correct 2017 AGI amount, please follow these instructions to correct it in TurboTax:

  • Login to your TurboTax Account 
  • Click "Take Me To My Return"
  • Click "File" from the left side of your screen
  • Go to Step 3 (if needed, revisit Steps 1 and/or 2 to activate Step 3).
  • Proceed, and make sure you've selected the option "I want to E-file"
  • Continue through the screens and you will be given the opportunity to input your 2017 AGI
  • Keep walking through the steps until you have re-transmitted your return

My tax return for 2019 keeps getting rejected and I entered it exactly from my 2018 return. What do I do now?

See this - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/how-do-i-find-last-year-s-agi/01/25947

If the tax return continues to be rejected then enter a 0 (zero) for the 2018 AGI.

If the tax return still is rejected then you will have to print and mail the tax return.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for printing a tax return for mailing - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/printing/help/how-do-i-print-and-mail-my-return-in-turbotax-online...
