I Entered The Wrong Agi For 2008 ,how Can I Fix It?

I filed State and Federal using Turbo tax,both have been rejected. The reason given was I entered the wrong AGI for 2008. I have the correct amount now but cannot get back to correct it on the returns. I tried to get a new pin# at www.irs.gov but the site is down. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks

Look at last year's (2008) TurboTax Return Summary. It has two AGI numbers. One uncorrected and one corrected. For some reason when I transferred the 2008 TurboTax return it read the uncorrected AGI instead of the corrected number.

To correct it you must get a new PIN for you and a new PIN for your wife by calling 1-800-828-1040. Input your Social Security and birthday and get a new PIN number for yourself. Then do the same for your wife and get a new PIN number for her.

Go back to your TurboTax 2009 to the Print & File area and answer all the questions and input the corrected AGI number, the new PIN for yourself and new PIN for your wife and resubmit.
