Reported incorrect AGI from 2016

Filed 2017 with extension. The data automatically brought in from 2016 was using a number that was incorrect from 2016 AGI. IRS rejected E-file, and 2017 Premium will not let me resubmit with correct AGI.
I cannot fault the basic product. Going back to previous sections, and then forward, actually seemed better this year. I didn't get lost in the process as often. There was a lot of confusion however at the end, when all of a sudden the past year's financial details and items sudden;y cropped up in the errors list. And there was no way to fix many of these errors. I tried putting in the number 0, and it wouldn't go in the red "error" box. But my maion complaint is that I could not choose a product that fit my needs. There was none. My wife and I make very little money, under $10,000 a year, or about 14,500 counting my social security. She is a freelance musician, so she has a few (small sum) 1099 forms. Because of that, we needed to get the Premium product. I had no choice but to plod through many many sections and pages I would've liked to ignore. I wanted a far simpler format. Basic plus, perhaps. But nothing but Premium could be found to legally fit our situation. Very frustrating..
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to fix issues, Hard to prepare
I have been using it for 8 years and it suites me well. There are a few areas where I wish the program provided more assistance such as K-1s and multi-state filings.
has trouble interpreting some tax law. doesn't link to all forms related. If I didn't put the number on a line then you have to tell me where it came from! When importing data it transferred not only the account I requested but all associated accounts!!! a real nightmare AaaaHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Eventually we got the job done.
Pros: Easy to install
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to fix issues, Hard to import
I buy every year, easy to use & imports prior year

I find this easy to use, although I have used for a number of years now so that helps my familiarity. So far no concerns from IRS so have to believe this works! It has Schedule C capability, this program is helpful in figuring it all out (1st time is the worst). I do wish there was a way to merge 2 files to see if separate or joint is best for married people rather than having to re-enter some data.
