Your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) can be found on Line 11 of your IRS Form 1040 for the current tax year. This applies to Form 1040, 1040-SR, and 1040-NR for tax years 2020 through 2024
. If you are looking for your AGI from the previous year (for example, to e-file your current return), check Line 11 of last year's Form 1040. If you do not have a copy of your prior year return, you can:
- Retrieve it from your tax preparer or tax software if you used one last year.
- Access your IRS online account to view your AGI on the Tax Records tab.
- Request a Tax Return Transcript from the IRS by mail or online, which includes your AGI
If you did not file a tax return last year, you should enter "0" as your AGI when prompted for e-filing purposes
. In summary:
- Current year AGI: Line 11 of Form 1040.
- Prior year AGI (for e-filing): Line 11 of last year's Form 1040.
- No prior return filed: Enter "0" as AGI.
This AGI figure is your total income minus allowable adjustments and is used for identity verification and determining eligibility for tax credits
