If are planning on e-filing, the IRS requires your 2018 AGI to verify your identity. If you are paper-filing your return then you will not need your AGI since your return will be manually processed. Having your previous years return may be beneficial depending on the complexity of your return and if the method you are using to file asks for information from the previous year.
If you used TurboTax last year, you can access your return by logging in using the same TurboTax account that you used in 2018. Please follow the steps provided below.
1. Go to Tax Home in the left menu.
2. Under Your tax returns & documents, go to Download/print return (PDF) (select Show if not visible).
