Is the spouse and taxpayer adjusted gross Income the same if you filed married filing jointly?

I am trying to efile, we filed married filing jointly last year, do I enter the same amount for both our AGI's or do I put the AGI as the taxpayer and zero for the spouse lines?Is the spouse and taxpayer adjusted gross Income the same if you filed married filing jointly?
If you filed a joint return last year, then your AGI is the same as for your wife's AGI. For example, if your AGI from last year return was $18000, then when asked about your wife's AGI from last year, you would want to put the same number in.Is the spouse and taxpayer adjusted gross Income the same if you filed married filing jointly?
Don't use the amended amount. You have to use the amount from the original return.





In most cases, the spouse's AGI is the same as the primary. Sometimes the computer gets glitchy and the spouse needs a 0.
