Using H&R Block to e-file two of my last client's returns and both were rejected. Both were filed 'Married Filing Jointly' and the reason given for the rejection was 'Your spouse's 2020 adjusted gross income (AGI) doesn't match IRS records.' Rejection Code: FR-32-IND-032-04
I double-checked, and the AGI entered was correct. Curious that the IRS would ask for the 'spouse's' 2020 AGI when both filed MFJ.
Any ideas? Thanks ~ Wilson
You didn't say what you entered for the spouse. If they filed MFJ for 2020, you enter the same AGI for both the taxpayer and the spouse. The AGI that you enter is the AGI on their joint 2020 return. You enter that same amount for both of them.

Thanks Bob, but you missed my next to the last line - "I double-checked, and the AGI entered was correct. Curious that the IRS would ask for the 'spouse's' 2020 AGI when both filed MFJ."
MFJ, the AGI is their AGI.
Was wondering if it's H&R Block that made the mistake or the IRS, which is way behind in processing.
