If you filed jointly, the IRS sees you as a single taxable entity, and you have the same AGI. By filing separately, you each had to file a return, so you each should have a separate AGI on file with the IRS.

How do I get my spouse’s AGI?

If you filed a tax return (or if married, you and your spouse filed a joint tax return), the AGI can be found on IRS Form 1040–Line 7. If you and your spouse filed separate tax returns, calculate your total AGI by adding line 7 from both tax returns and entering the total amount.

Why is my AGI being rejected?

The IRS will reject your return if the AGI you entered doesn’t match the number in the IRS e-file database. If you filed with Credit Karma Tax last year, and you’ve already started using Credit Karma Tax this year, then you can find your prior year return here: My Tax Forms.

Can you file a return if your spouse has an AGI?

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). Time-saving Tip: If what you entered is correct and you continue to get a reject, you won’t be able to e-file.

When to use prior year AGI on 2018 tax return?

If you are married filing jointly and only one spouse filed a 2018 return, you should enter the prior year AGI for that spouse and zero (0) for the spouse who has not filed before. If your 2018 AGI was zero, you should use 0 (zero) as your prior year AGI when e-filing.

Where to find AGI on joint tax return?

The AGI you should use to sign your 2019 return can be found on the following lines of your 2018 return (round this amount to the nearest whole dollar):

What happens if my AGI is wrong on my 2020 tax return?
