I’m trying to e-file my daughters taxes and they are being rejected based on the AGI. I got the number off of her on line account from last year. She did file an amended return but that is still the number I come up with.
it was suggested that I try entering 0 for AGI and that was rejected also.
I just tried entering that she didn’t file last year and it came back again for AGI.
Frustrating!
Any other suggestions before I just print and mail?
If it was rejected for AGI—-be aware that many 2020 returns took so long for the IRS to process that your 2020 AGI might not be in the IRS system. Try using zero instead.
If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year. The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.

If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
