Spouse AGI has been rejected by IRS.

Spouse AGI has been rejected by IRS. We filled jointly last year and she did not had any income.I had filled same AGI as mine for her but this has been rejected. She  did not had SSN last year. Instead she had ITIN. However, this year she does have.  What would be her's AGI?

[CarolynM · Accepted solution]

Her prior AGI would be $0.

She has never filed a tax return using her new SSN, so her prior AGI would be $0.

The IRS does not match prior year AGI by name, but rather SSN and ITIN numbers.

After entering 0 did the return got accepted?

$0, for the reasons previously explained

If zero will not work then you will have to mail in the return this year ... and make sure to link up the ITIN & SS# if you have not done so yet ...

What do I do when I am assigned a social security number (SSN)?
Once you receive a SSN, you must use that number for tax purposes and discontinue using your ITIN.  It is improper to use both the ITIN and the SSN assigned to the same person to file tax returns.  It is your responsibility to notify the IRS so we can combine all of your tax records under one identification number.  If you do not notify the IRS when you are assigned a SSN, you may not receive credit for all wages paid and taxes withheld which could reduce the amount of any refund due.  You can visit a local IRS office or write a letter explaining that you have now been assigned a SSN and want your tax records combined.  Include your complete name, mailing address, and ITIN along with a copy of your social security card and a copy of the CP 565, Notice of ITIN Assignment, if available.  The IRS will void the ITIN and associate all prior tax information filed under the ITIN with the SSN.  Send your letter to:
