CANT E-FILE (WRONG AGI)

Hello. I am trying to e-file my taxes using TurboTax, but anytime I do it. It gets rejected. 

 

- I am doing my independent taxes for the first time.

- I had no income in 2019. AGI = $0

- I was declared as dependent on my parents 2019 income taxes as my parents received tax education credits for my payments for the school. 

 

My question is what do I put for AGI, since it gets rejected when I put $0 ??

Do I put my parents AGI from 2019? Or I just have to mail and there is no way to e-file?

In the File section of the program you were asked if you filed a 2019 tax return.  You should have selected No.

 

Enter a 0 (zero) for the 2019 AGI to e-file the 2020 tax return.

I did, entered "NO" in the file section of the program asking if I filed a 2019 tax return. And I did put "0" for AGI. 

The tax return got rejected.

Then since the IRS has rejected the federal tax return even when entering a 0 for the AGI your only option is to print and mail the tax return.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for how to print a tax return for mailing - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/printing/help/how-do-i-print-and-mail-my-return-in-turbotax-online...
