Keep getting rejected by IRS with error code IND-032-04

[ethantheshadley]

I've contacted 3 of TurboTax's experts and gotten rejected by the IRS 3 times, and don't know what to do to file my taxes.

I was forced to file by mail last year, so now the IRS is asking for my AGI (Adjusted Gross Income). This IRS code is saying that my wife's AGI doesn't match their records. My wife wasn't working and had no income in 2024, so I put 0, but that gets rejected. Whenever I go to fix the error, it tells me that the number $47,740 was rejected. $47,740 is MY AGI, not hers, and I've only ever put that number under my name, yet the IRS rejects it explicitly under the IRS code that corresponds to wrong AGI for wife.

One of the experts I spoke to told me that I'd need to mail in my taxes this year because I mailed in my taxes last year (apparently establishing an endless cycle) but TurboTax doesn't give me that option for Federal taxes, only for State Taxes.

So what am I supposed to do?

Useless. My wife's 2024 AGI was 0, but the IRS won't accept that because TurboTax keeps changing her AGI to my AGI.

If you filed a Married filing joint return with your wife, even if she did not have any income, the AGI you need to use for her would be the one from your joint return.  If you need to find your last year's AGI, see the TurboTax help article below:

How do I find last year's AGI?

 To correct your last year's AGI and e-file your return:

1. Open your return
2. Select the File tab
3. Continue until you reach the screen that says To continue, select options below
4. Enter your corrected AGI in Enter last year's AGI here
5. Select Continue and follow the screens until you've re-transmitted your return
