It depends. If you have not exceeded about 6 tries to e-file, you could still electronically file.

 

I recommend confirming the AGI from the IRS before trying again. You can find this out online by going to IRS Get Transcript

Our condolences for the loss of your spouse.

I have the same thing happening. The IRS keeps rejecting saying the AGI is not correct... but it is- I've checked and rechecked everything. This is getting ridiculous.

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.

I am seeing the same kind of rejection of my returns.  


IND-032-04 - 'SpousePriorYearPIN' or 'SpousePriorYearAGIAmt' in the Return Header must match the e-File database.
The AGI Amount is not the problem! 

Sadly, I can do a paper filing but how do I get the refund of my State eFile charge from Intuit?

I found out how to avoid getting that error message! My FIL passed away last year. My MIL is the surviving spouse. I kept getting the error message when I e-filed that many people have posted about. I switched the order of the two names, to put my MIL first, and the return was accepted! I was able to keep the deceased box checked for my FIL and I put "widowed" for my MIL.  Yay! Didn't have to submit by paper!
