Im filing a joint return. Turbo tax is asking for primary taxpayers AGI. Then asks for spouse AGI. Since this is a joint return should the spouses AGI be 0? The AGI should not be split.

No. Did you file Joint last year? On a joint return there is only 1 AGI. You enter the same 2023 AGI for each of you.

Try entering 0 for the AGI. The IRS might have processed your return later so the AGI didn't get entered in time. Especially if you mailed it. That works for most people. See,

If you can’t get it to efile you will have to print and mail it.

Be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them. You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places. Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.
