What if the IRS hasn't finished processing my 2024 tax return?
If the IRS hasn't finished processing your 2024 tax return by December 7, 2025, enter $0 for your Prior Year AGI.
Sometimes even though the IRS has accepted your 2024 return, they haven't finished processing it. For example, this can happen if the IRS sees something on your return that needs review before they send you your refund. Even though your return was accepted, your return hasn't finished being processed while it's under review.
If your 2024 return was accepted and your 2025 return was rejected for an incorrect Prior Year AGI or PIN when you tried your actual Prior Year AGI, try entering $0 and e-file your return again.
