it states spouses AGI is incorrect, but it is the same as the primary persons filed for 2017
I am getting the same thing. Not sure why. I double checked my return and the numbers should work.
same for me. I know the AGI is correct. Would appreciate help from TurboTax
I thought the IRS was wrong because I was looking at my filed return. However when I went to the IRS website it turned out my transcript was a little different based on there calculations.
I just entered 0 and the return was accepted. I have never had this issue before.
My return was rejected due to the AGI not matching my return from last year with the IRS! I put in my AGI number which I thought was correct a couple times bc it was on my last years return I had filed!! So I went to my tax place from last year and got a copy of my return, and it was a different number then I had! Just a tad off!! so now I have the correct agi number and I can’t enter it cause turbo tax won’t let me??? bc I tried to many times? What Can I do to enter it now that I have the correct Agi number?? Cause it won’t let me??
I just had this same issue, got the transcripts, and were identical to what I was entering for the spouse, but entered 0 as well and it was also accepted. I had never had this problem before.
The kicker is I am not now and never was married. I suspect something has gone on at the IRS to make adjustments as of FY2017. Maybe, they decided that ACA marketplace insurance counts as part of AGI, which worries me greatly.
I am getting the same message intuit - on my return and my adult son is as well. Seems to be a glitch with turbotax and I'm not happy. I would like a refund on my e-file fee
If the IRS rejected your return because they stated you submitted an incorrect AGI and you are sure you entered a correct one you can mail in a paper return. Please scroll down about halfway for instructions:
I'm running into this now, and so far, I "think" the IRS amended my return without notifying me. I've asked for a transcript of the return in question, and I'll get that within five to ten days of the time stamp on this reply.
So, we'll see what happens.
@johntsteiner I am running into this myself for the first time and requested a copy of my transcript. What did you find out?
That I'll be waiting five to ten days [likely business days] to get the IRS version of my AGI. I haven't gotten it yet, and from the timestamp of my post I'd say anywhere from tomorrow to late into next weeks.
Okay, so funny story- not really, but never mind that s**t. My Schedule E shows my royalties three times over, two as rent for properties [hint: I don't own any properties, or else I wouldn't live in this shoe box of an apartment], and added them all up. Hilariously- also not actually, the tripled total still would be less than the amount I had paid Tax ACT to file a Schedule E when their software last year refused to let me manually enter my book royalties into the form despite their being a tab for that.
So, this is something I can't blame on Turbo Tax at least, and reaffirms why I'll never use g****mn Tax ACT again. Not having a mortgage, a credit card, or a student loan, I couldn't get the IRS to electronically get my AGI for the year in question, because debit cards don't count for s**t in this century.
But, when the mailed version of the documents came in today [per timestamp of this reply] I found out the above goof from my Schedule E. Can't say if your problem is the same, but I'm betting it's some Mickey Mouse thing jacking with your AGI number that you likely didn't cause for yourself.
With the update my 2018 taxes were accepted by the IRS.
Wow! That sounds like a mess. I'm looking over all my tax documentation and can find nothing. I tried to request my transcripts online using my social and my current address, no go. Tried my last address before I moved late last year, no dice there either. I have a sneaking suspicion that you are right and somehow the IRS screwed up my information. Must be the reason why I had to create a new TurboTax account even though nothing changed.
Thanks for the update @johntsteiner and I hope it's a quick resolution for you.
I can attest that the 0 option works. I tried numerous times to get my AGI in and after inserting 0 it was accepted. Weird but works.
I’m going to try this out. I’m going through the same stuff. Its ridiculous and makes no sense
Mines too 3x, I put the exact AIG from my return. Everytime it got rejected. Something going on with turbo tax system

Nope, not TurboTax. The rejection is from the IRS and only the IRS. They probably have a mistake in their systems based on your SS number and name.
You can try using a 0 (zero) for the AGI and re-file. If that also fails then you will have to print and mail your tax return.
