In order to calculate your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI), you will begin with your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) from your Tax Return: Form 1040 Line 37, Form 1040A Line 21, or Form 1040EZ Line 4.
To view your Tax Return before filing, login to your return and go to Tax Tools>>Tools>>View Tax Summary.
Next, you will add the following things to your AGI in order to come up with your MAGI :
- Student loan interest
- One-half of self-employment tax
- Passive loss or passive income
- IRA contributions, taxable social security payments
- The exclusion for income from U.S. savings bonds
- The exclusion under 137 for adoption expenses
- Rental losses
- Any overall loss from a publicly traded partnership
If you don't have any of the above items, then your MAGI will simply be the same as your AGI.
