IRS has rejected the entry on this years form for last years AGI. I know it correct because I have last years forms in front of me. How do you fix it?

Unfortunately, if the IRS isn't accepting your 2017 AGI amount, you will need to mail in your Tax Return as it cannot be e-filed without the exact amount that the IRS has on record for you. 

I am including some tips below in hopes of helping you locate the correct 2017 AGI amount so that you can e-file

Be sure you are getting your 2017 AGI from your actual Tax Return and not your Form W2.  If you filed an Amended Tax Return, use the AGI from your original return, not the Amended 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 a tax return for 2017, you should use -0- as your AGI.

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