Rejected return - Spouse AGI

Entering 0.00 for spouse AGI worked for me.

Rejected return - Spouse AGI

Still a problem in October 2025. Causes return to be rejected. Seems like a simple programming issue. Turbotax knows that taxes were filed jointly in the prior year and the current year, so why is it submitting an AGI for a spouse for the prior year?

Rejected return - Spouse AGI

In case anyone still having thisissue in Oct 24, this solution worked for me.

 

TL, DR:  0.00 worked for me too!

 

Situation:

- I filed late for 2023 ( filed in Sept 24 )

- Filed married jointly 

- when efiled for 2024 on Oct 15, 2024, I got an error that my spouse’s AGI is not matching. Turbotax was showing the same amount for both of us when first time I efiled.

- after the first error, i resubmitted checking that was the amount reported on line 11 of 2023 return. It still got rejected.

- I searched and eneded up on this thread where the suggestion is to enter ‘0’ ( just zero, no decimal). This got rejected too!

Finally, as a last resort, I tried entering 0.00 as suggested here. Note that turbo tax showed me 0.  in t he box for AGI, I did not change it, and resubmitted, and …. voila!  I got a text that it is accepted!

I was so frustrated and almost ready to paper file, but 0.00 saved me. Thank you so much!  🙏
