Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thank you for your quick response.

 

The IRS document you posted appears to be for 2018.

 

I am looking at this article:

https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/irs-tax-return/what-is-the-difference-between-agi-and-magi-on-y...

- Which does say to add back 1/2 self-employment deduction to AGI when calculating MAGI.

 

I am still confused. Some other IRS documents do not mention the self-employment tax deduction in relation to MAGI.
