Error 0679 or 0680: "The amount you entered..." When Checking E-filing Status

This error message occurs when checking the status of an e-filed return. The complete message reads as follows:

Error Code 0679: The amount you entered for your prior year's adjusted gross income (AGI) does not match what the IRS has in its records.

OR

Error Code 0680: The amount entered for the spouse's prior year adjusted gross income (AGI) does not match what the IRS has in its records.

About this error

The "last year's" adjusted gross income (AGI) that you provided with your electronic signature for the taxpayer or spouse does not match the one on file with the IRS. The Self-Select PIN is the electronic signature used for e-filing a paperless return. The IRS uses your prior year's AGI to verify your identity, so the AGI you enter must match the IRS records exactly.

For more information, see Sign Your E-filed Return Electronically Using a Self-select PIN.
