Have A Question About Filing Jointly For The First Time

I received the following error: Here's why your return was rejected: 0680 - Authentication Record - The amount entered for the spouse's prior year adjusted gross income (AGI) jor Spouse Prior Year PIN does not match what the IRS has in its records. I am filing jointly for the first time and during the process of filing with Turbo Tax I was asked to provide my wife's PIN but the AGI from last year is not on that form, so I didn't enter it at all. I looked through the form again and there is no place that asks for her 2009 (last year's) AGI. I just resubmitted them, but am afraid that they are going to get rejected again because her last year's AGI won't be on there.

Note that the error states: spouse's prior year adjusted gross income (AGI) or Spouse Prior Year PIN

"OR" being the operative word. Is it possible that you entered the PIN wrong? Doesn't matter about which form the AGI is on ... it's what's in the IRS records that counts. The IRS is telling you that a past AGI for your spouse is not matching with the PIN you're entering. Doesn't have anything to do with entering past AGI on the 2010 form.
