Why is Turbo Tax asking for the AGI for both people on a joint return?

I have used for years and it didn't do that.

    Where do I find my AGI?

     

    https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/how-do-i-find-last-year-s-agi/01/25947

     

    Your 2024 tax return shows your 2024 Adjusted Gross Income  (AGI)  If you filed a joint return then the AGI is the same for each of you.

     

    Form 1040        line 11

     

    If entering the amount from your 2024 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.

     

    You can get a free transcript of your past return from the IRS:

    Note: If you filed late or amended your return, your correct 2024 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.

    This is an IRS requirement.  It matches the AGI to the Social Security Number of the individual.

    • This acts as the electronic signature.
    • If you filed jointly, the AGI will be the same for both of you.
