You have not told us who Gloria is or why you need to have her name on a tax return.  If Gloria is your spouse and you filed a joint return for 2018, the AGI is the same for both of you.  You use the amount on line 7 of your 2018 tax return.

Where do I find my AGI?

Your 2018 tax return shows your 2018 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) If you filed a joint return then the AGI is the same for each of you.

Form 1040        line 7

If you are using the same TT account that you used last year, you should also be able to find this number in your Tax Home for 2018

If entering the amount from your 2018 tax return does not work, then try entering “0” instead.  If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.

Note: If you filed late or amended your return, your correct 2018 AGI may not be in the system.

Note:  If you mail your federal return, you will also need to mail your state return.  You will not be able to e-file your state return.

it is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it like UPS or certified mail.  Then you will know the IRS received it.

If you used the wrong AGI, your e-file  be rejected.  When you get the rejection notice, correct it and re-file.

Did Gloria file a 2018 return at all even as a spouse ?  

If yes then the AGI is on the jointly filed return ... the same number is used for both spouses.

If no then her AGI is zero.

The fact Gloria did not file a tax return in 2018 doesn't matter. However, if Gloria was single and and has never e-filed a tax return before, enter an AGI of ZERO and make up a 5-digit PIN number.  Do not forget this PIN number, Gloria will need that same PIN number every year that she e-files. 

If Gloria was included as a tax filer (not a dependent, but a *TAX* *FILER* on *ANY* prior year tax return that was e-filed, then she'll use the same exact PIN number used in past year or years.

What is the PIN number

PIN = Personal Identification Number: A 5-digit number used as on of three methods to confirming the identity of a tax filer. The first time a person *EVER* e-files a tax return, they will basically "make-up" a 5-digit PIN once they have confirmed their identity to the IRS with the other two methods of identity verification. The other two methods are:

 - State driver's license number or other state issued identification

 - AGI of the prior year's tax return. If the tax filer did not file a prior year tax return, then the AGI will be ZERO. If the tax filer did file a prior year tax return, then they use the AGI on line 7 of the 2018 (twenty eighteen) form 1040. It does not matter if the 2018 form was joint either.

If one does not have a driver's license or state issued ID, then one can still e-file by selecting the "I don't have a license or ID" option. However, you can expect processing of any refund due to be delayed quite significantly while the IRS confirms the identity of the tax filer, if they have reason to question it.
