Are you asking in regards to you and your Spouse verifying your 2024 return for efiling? Are you getting ready to attempt your first efile for the 2024 return, or did you recently efile, and was it rejected due to "Spouse AGI?" In any case, I'll discuss the possibilities below.
When married filing jointly, both filers have the same total 2023 AGI (Line 11), with one exception that I'll mention below. Be sure to use the 2023 AGI from the original 2023 return--not an amended one, if any.
Are you the primary filer (first-listed)? If so, and if this is your first attempt this year when efiling, use the total 2023 AGI (Line 11) for you and also use the same total 2023 AGI for the Spouse. If that works, then all is well and good.
However, if you try that (or have already tried that), and if it is rejected due to incorrect "Spouse AGI", then try again using total 2023 AGI for you, and use 0 (zero) for the Spouse. Sometimes if you filed real late in the year last year, or if you mailed a return last year and it took a long time to process, or for some other unknown reason, the Spouse AGI may not be in the IRS efile database.
If you get yet another rejection after that, report back with the exact error code and message.
