IRS says spouse AGI not accurate. Filing jointly. AGI is accurate re: turbotax AND irs.gov 2020 tax return. Any way to file electronically or must I use paper filing?

Always married filing jointly. IRS.gov 2020 tax document download matches 2020 turbotax document re: AGI. AGI entered accurately

Did you enter a 2020 AGI for both of you?  If you filed as Married Filing Joint in 2020 then you need to enter the same 2020 AGI for both of you, even if only one had income.

If you filed as Married Filing Separate in 2020 & are now filing as Married Filing Joint, then you need to enter the 2020 AGI from each of your separate 2020 returns.

If all else fails, try using a Zero for the 2020 AGI

Thanks! I did enter a 2020 AGI for both and file jointly last year and this year. Weird. I’ll try the zero entry and see if that works. Appreciate your reply!

Entering zero worked. Thank you! Yay for not having to print out pages and pages and mail them in. Appreciate your expertise, Charles
