How do I find last year's AGI?
To find last year's (or any past year's) adjusted gross income (AGI), select the scenario that describes your situation. If you didn’t file a tax return in 2024, enter “0” for last year’s AGI.
Note: If your TurboTax navigation looks different from what’s described here, learn more.
Filed with TurboTax
Sign in to TurboTax and go to Tax Home.
Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
Select View adjusted gross income (AGI).
If you already filed your 2025 tax return, you must select 2024 first.
If you filed with TurboTax last year but used a different email address and account, your AGI might be there. Try to sign in with another email address (you'll need to sign out of this account first), or find out how to access your other accounts.
Your AGI will be automatically transferred when you e-file since you filed with TurboTax last year.
To see your AGI:
Sign in to TurboTax and go to Tax Home.
Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
Select View adjusted gross income (AGI).
If you already filed your 2025 tax return, you must select 2024 first.
It looks like you didn't use this account to file last year, so we can’t find your AGI. Select a different situation below for more help.
If you filed with TurboTax last year but used a different email address and account, your AGI might be there. Try signing in with another email address, or find out how to access your other accounts (you'll need to sign out of this account first).
It looks like you have other accounts connected to the email you're using, so you might be able to find your AGI there. Find out how to access your other accounts (you'll need to sign out of this account first).
If you can't find your AGI to e-file, you can print and mail your return instead.
Didn't file with TurboTax or don't have last year's return
If you have your 1040 or 1040NR return you filed with the IRS for 2023, look on Line 11 for your AGI.
If you don’t have your2024 return, you can order a free digital transcript of your return from the IRS. You can view your online transcript immediately, while a mailed transcript takes 5–10 days to receive.
Choose tax return transcript when asked what type of transcript you want.
If you still don't find your AGI, paper file your return. The IRS requires your 2024 AGI to verify your identity for e-filing, but if you paper file, you don't need your AGI.
Tips for entering your AGI
Depending on your circumstances, here are some more tips to entering your AGI:
Don't calculate your AGI from your W-2s or 1099s.
If you amended last year, don’t use the AGI from that amended return. Always get it from the first return you filed, even if that AGI was technically incorrect (for example, if you forgot a W-2).
If you printed and mailed your return and it was not processed by December 10, 2025, then enter 0 for your 2024 AGI.
If you filed a return last year, but somebody claimed you as a dependent, enter the AGI showing on your return for last year (not theirs).
If you filed jointly last year but separately this year, enter the AGI from last year’s return. The same goes for recently-widowed or divorced taxpayers who filed jointly last year.
If you're filing jointly this year but selected married filing separately last year, enter each spouse's individual AGIs from last year. This also applies to newlywed couples.
If you're a first-time filer over the age of 16, enter 0 as your AGI.
If you efiled or printed and mailed your return and it was processed after the October deadline, enter 0 for your AGI.
If you didn't file a tax return in 2024, enter 0 for last year's AGI.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I filed my 2024 tax return after November 10, 2025?
If the IRS didn't receive and process your 2024 tax return by December 7, 2025, report that you didn't file a return or enter 0 as your 2024 AGI. Usually the IRS has enough time to process your return if you mail it by November 10, 2025.
If you aren't sure if the IRS processed your 2024 tax return by December 7, 2025, we suggest you tell us you didn't file a 2024 return or enter 0 as your 2024 AGI. Then, if your return is rejected because your AGI doesn't match the IRS records, tell us you did file a 2024 return, enter your actual Prior Year AGI, and e-file your tax return again.
What if the IRS hasn't finished processing my 2024 tax return?
If the IRS hasn't finished processing your 2024 tax return by December 7, 2025, enter 0 for your Prior Year AGI.
Sometimes even though the IRS has accepted your 2024 return, they haven't finished processing it. For example, this can happen if the IRS sees something on your return that needs review before they send you your refund. Even though your return was accepted, your return hasn't finished being processed while it's under review.
If your 2024 return was accepted and your 2025 return was rejected for an incorrect Prior Year AGI or PIN when you tried your actual Prior Year AGI, try entering 0 and e-file your return again.
