Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If you plan to e-file your tax return, you may need to first find the amount of AGI from last year's return in order for the IRS to verify your identity. You can find your AGI on the form you used to file your last year's return.
If you did not use TurboTax to file 2019 tax return you have to retrieve a copy of that return to find the Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). Or if you did not file last year then check that box.
If you filed and IRS adjusted your return your 2019 AGI may be different than the copy you have. You can request a transcript from the IRS of the 2019 return to retrieve the AGI
There are several ways to find your prior-year AGI:
Preferred Method
You should always retain a copy of your tax return.
- On your 2019 tax return, your AGI is on line 8b of the Form 1040.
- If you used a paid preparer last year, you might obtain a copy of last year’s tax return from that preparer.
- If you are using the same tax preparation software that you used last year, that software will likely have your prior-year tax return for you to access.
- If you’re not using the same tax preparation software as last year, you may be able to access your prior-year software and view an electronic copy of your prior-year return.
- If you are a first-time filer over the age of 16 enter zero as your AGI.
