You received an email that told you why. That email had a rejection code or rejection message in it. We cannot see your email. The most common reason for rejection is AGI. If it was for AGI it does not matter now since you only needed AGI in order to e-file. E-filing is closed so you have to print, sign and mail the return. If you tell us the rejection message we can help you figure out if you actually need to change anything on the return before you print it and mail it.

AGI number 0 is getting rejected does that mean that my past tax sheet is wrong

The IRS uses your prior year AGI to combat fraud.

You can find your 2018 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) by:

Looking at line 7 on page 2 of your 2018 Form 1040; or
You can request a transcript of your 2018 tax return from the IRS to ensure you have the right number. You can request your transcript online at the following link: Get Transcript

Check these items as well to ensure you have the correct number. If you:

Filed late last year after mid-November or your return was processed after that time—try entering 0.
Amended your return last year—make sure you’re using the AGI from your original return, not the amended one. (If you only have a 1040X form, it’s on line 1, column A).
Rounded your AGI to the nearest dollar—be sure to round up when it’s 50 cents or more and down when it’s 49 cents or less.
Filed with your spouse last year—you and your spouse have the same 2018 AGI. (Don’t split the AGI amount or enter 0 for one of you).
