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
