My 2022 tax return hasn't been processed, though I filed through TurboTax on-time. Because of this, I don't have my AGI for my 2023 tax return, how can I complete filing?

The filing for my 2023 tax return was rejected because my AGI that I entered for my 2022 return didn't match what the IRS had on record. I then checked my 2022 return transcript, only to find out that my return wasn't processed ("we have no record of a processed tax return for the tax period listed above"), despite having filed through TurboTax. I frankly don't know what to do at this point.

Since the IRS does not have your 2022 AGI in their database, you need to enter a 0 (zero) for the 2022 AGI and e-file your tax return again.

And what does Turbo Tax say about your 2022 return?  

When you log into your account you should see the status and if it was Accepted or Rejected, Started, Printed, Ready to Mail, etc.  what does it say?

Then when you efile you get back 2 emails.  The first email only confirms the transmission.  The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepte.d or Rejected your efile.  Check back though your emails if you have them.

You can get it from a copy of your last year Tax Return.

You can get it from IRS direct if you set up an account in the Transcript tab. 

If you cannot get it fast enough, then you need to Print your return and Mail it out so you are not hit with a Late Filing Penalty.   If you choose to mail, I suggest using Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested so you have verified proof of mailing. 

Hope this helps

TurboTax says that my 2022 return was accepted, at both the state and federal level.

I am having the same issue (sorry that I don't have an answer).

- I filed in 2022 via TurboTax, on time

- I can see federal & state withdrawals/refunds processed in my bank account in 2022

- I have the emails from 2022 saying my returns were "accepted", and they also say "accepted" in the TurboTax interface

- I have an account with the IRS website, and when I try to download the 2022 transcript it states that they have no record of a processed tax return

I tried both the AGI from TurboTax's records as well as "0", and both were rejected.

The IRS uses your prior year AGI to combat fraud.   

You can find your 2022 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) by: 

• Looking at line11 on page 1 of your 2022 Form 1040; or 
• You can request a transcript of your 2022 tax return from the IRS to ensure you have the right number. You can request your transcript online at the following link: Get Transcript  

Check these items as well to ensure you have the correct number.  If you: 

• Filed late last year after mid-November or your return was processed after that time—try entering 0. 
• Amended your return last year—make sure you’re using the AGI from your original return, not the amended one. (If you only have a 1040X form, it’s on line 1, column A). 
• Rounded your AGI to the nearest dollar—be sure to round up when it’s 50 cents or more and down when it’s 49 cents or less. 
• Filed with your spouse last year—you and your spouse have the same 2022 AGI. (Don’t split the AGI amount or enter  0  for one of you). 

Time-saving Tip: If what you entered is correct and you continue to get a reject, you won't be able to e-file. There's probably a data mismatch at the government, or some other situation beyond your control that prevents your return from being e-filed. In this case, your only option would be to print and mail in your return. 

This article will give you instruction on how to print and mail your return.
