My return status was rejected by the IRS due to my 2018 taxes not matching their records. Please help!

Your 2018 AGI did not match?

Where do I find my AGI?

Your 2018 tax return shows your 2018 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) If you filed a joint return then the AGI is the same for each of you.

Form 1040 line 7

If you are using the same TT account that you used last year, you should also be able to find this number in your Tax Home for 2018

If entering the amount from your 2018 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 2018 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.

it is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it like UPS or certified mail. Then you will know the IRS received it.

If you used the wrong AGI, your e-file be rejected. When you get the rejection notice, correct it and re-file.

I was filed as a dependent on my parents taxes for 2018 AGI, so what do I need to do for that since I am now filing as an independent for the first time

If you are filing your 2019 return and your parents are NOT claiming you for 2019 then when you go through My Info, when you are asked if you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return, you answer NO.
