Fed Return-IRS rejected e-file, as Spouse AGI amount is incorrect.

We always file "Married Jointly"- Wouldn't our AGI be the same? 

There is only one AGI amount on our last year's tax return.

Thank you.

Yes, but I believe the problem is with the TurboTax software. I had the same issue and others suggested entering a 0 for the AGI. That worked for me, and the return was accepted within minutes. But it doesn't work for everyone. TT needs to fix its software, and apparently has yet to do so.

Yes the amounts would be the same.  

 

Sometimes the return is caught in a loop and you will need to clear your cookies, history, cache; and reboot.

 

Try this to see if it helps.

Thank you very much !!!  I did as you suggested using "0" in the spouse AGI and the return was accepted.  Really appreciate your assistance.
