Summary: Fixing AGI Rejects on TurboTax

This guide explains how to resolve "AGI file reject" errors when filing taxes electronically with TurboTax.

Main Points

  • What is an AGI Reject? An AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) reject occurs when the AGI you entered on your tax return does not match the information the IRS has on file. This is a common issue during e-filing.

  • Identifying the Problem:

    • The most common cause is an incorrect AGI entry for the previous tax year (e.g., 2023 AGI).
    • Specific rejection codes indicate the nature of the mismatch:
      • IND03104: The primary taxpayer's AGI or self-selected PIN from the previous year does not match IRS records.
      • IND03204: The spouse's AGI or self-selected PIN from the previous year does not match IRS records.
  • Resolving the Issue via TurboTax:

1.  **Access TurboTax:** Go to turboax.intuit.com and sign into your account. If you don't have one, create it.

6.  **Find Your Specific Issue:** Scroll through the results to find information that matches your situation, paying attention to the rejection codes.
