If you are filing Married Filing Jointly, both you and your spouse will have the same AGI. To see other user's similar situation, click here: Spouse's AGI If your AGI is zero, your spouse will have the same number as zero.
To locate your AGI, here are several ways:
If you have your last year's tax return, read here: Find your AGI
If you used TurboTax online to file, you can access your account here Login and download a copy of your prior year’s 1040 tax return to find your AGI. Click here for instructions: Prior year's return
If you do not have a copy of the tax forms, you may order a transcript from the IRS. Click here Get Transcript and select "Get Transcript Online " On the transcript, look under section "Adjustment to Income" and find the amount for Adjusted Gross Income.
The IRS uses your prior year AGI to verify your identity and allow you to e-file your return. If what you entered doesn't match what the IRS has on file for you, then the IRS will reject your return.
Second year in a row I put the CORRECT AGI in both mine and my spouse's fields to file electronically and get an error. IT IS RIDICULOUS. I know is it correct because I had the previous return with the AGI printed on the cover page!!! The PINS were also denoted in each year's note. There is an error in the software or something. I am furious that I can't file electronically two years in a row due to a glitch in the software.
I have seen hundreds of posts with people having the same issue.
Some states do have a (useless?) calculation spouse. For example, VA760 form has #17A VAGI-Spouse which shows spouse's portion of total AGI.
Have you tried using $0 as the previous year AGI or any of the suggestions in this FAQ. It is not uncommon to have to use $0 - especially if you have filed by mail in the past - your return probably is not processed and therefore there is no previous year AGI on file for you or your spouse at the IRS. Please review the FAQ and try all of the options - having your return rejected, even many many times, does not prevent your return from being e-filed, so keep trying before you opt to mail the return, please. @DiCan1108
