Hi

[Dacey300]

You received a rejection email that we cannot see.  Please tell us word for word what it says so we know how to help you.

I really don’t know what happen it’s my first time doing it and I got rejected saying I should enter 2019 AGI however I’m filling for 3019 I’m confused 

[xmasbaby0]

If you are trying to file a 2019 tax return you are being asked to enter your 2018 AGI.  That is found on your 2018 tax return IF you filed a 2018 return.  That is how the IRS verifies that the same person is filing 2019 using the same Social Security number.   If you did not file a 2018 tax return, then enter "zero" for the AGI.  If it still will not let you e-file then you have to print, sign and mail your 2019 return.

The 2018 AGI is on the 2018 Federal tax return you filed Form 1040 Line 7

To access your current or prior year tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on View adjusted gross income (AGI)

Or go to this IRS website for free federal tax return transcripts - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

If your tax return continues to be rejected with the 2018 AGI then enter a 0 (zero) for the AGI and e-file again.

If this is also rejected then you will have to print and mail the tax return.

Is the 1040 and the w2 the same thing?

No.  The Form 1040 is your federal tax return.  The W-2 is what you receive from your employer showing your total wages and taxes withheld from those wages.  You enter the W-2 information on the Form 1040.
