After you file

Here are 3 options:

You can get the 2015 AGI figure (or a copy of your 2015 return) from your accountant.

Or you can download a free 2015 tax return transcript at this IRS website:

http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript

Or you can phone the IRS and ask for your 2015 AGI from the original 2015 return (not an amended one.)

  • Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".  
  • Then press 3 "for all other questions."
  • Then press 2 "for all other questions."  It should then transfer you to an agent, but there is likely to be a long wait.
