Submitted EFILE and got Error IND-031-04 AGI incorrect Filing 2022

[dbstuart916]

Went through the return instructions and comments.   The AGI I entered was correct.  Problem, My wife and I filed as Married filing Jointly for 2021 and 2022.   So I was Primary for both years.   Turbo_tax efiling instructions are confusing for entering AGI.   You do not have an option answer for Filing jointly.  The systems requires the 2021 AGI for both of US.  But there are no directions for entering AGI.  So I entered the same number AGI from our 2021 tax return for both of us.  Got kicked back: AGI error.  Having no information for my criteria in Turbo-Tax, I entered the 2021 AGI for me and 0.00 for my wife and sent it off.   So waiting for acceptance or rejection.  If rejected, then I have no option but to PRINT and MAIL.

If you filed the 2021 tax return as Married Filing Jointly the 2021 AGI is the same for the both of you.  When TurboTax asks for the 2021 AGI in the File section of the program you should enter the 2021 AGI found on the Form 1040 Line 11 for tax year 2021.

If the IRS rejects the 2022 tax return for the 2021 AGI then there is a good possibility that the IRS does not have your 2021 AGI in their database.

In this case enter a 0 (zero) for the 2021 AGI and e-file the 2022 tax return again.

You can pick the option that you did not file last year and it will skip the AGI question and let you efile.  The IRS does not see that question or care about it.
