Hello! I'm trying to fill out a FAFSA for school - how do I see individual gross income when I filed married-jointly? Which line differentiates between spouse income?

Look at your own W-2 and 1099 forms and add them up.   A joint return only shows the joint income, not individual income.

You will not find your individual incomes on the Form 1040.  When you file a joint return, the income is combined on the tax form.  That is why you should always save your own W-2's and 1099's for your own records.   If you did not do that, then when the system is finished with the transition from 2018 to 2019 in December, you can download all of the worksheets that show your income entries that were made when you prepared your Form 1040.

Or you could ask your employers for copies if you need the information sooner.

 

You can also get copies of your W-2's from Social Security, but it will cost $86 each.

You can get a wage and income transcript from the IRS:  It will not show the actual W-2, 1099’s, etc, but will show the income information the IRS received.  It will not, however, show your state information. It will only show the federal information.
