Help please

I have been trying for months to get my 2018 agi.

I havent been able to contact the irs. Or anything I even found my w2 from 2018 and manually figured out the agi but it's still incorrect. My hands are tied.

The 2018 AGI is on the 2018 Federal tax return you filed Form 1040 Line 7

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/how-do-i-find-last-year-s-agi/01/25947

To access your current or prior year tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show. Click on the Year and Click on View adjusted gross income (AGI)

Or go to this IRS website for free federal tax return transcripts - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

If your tax return continues to be rejected with the 2018 AGI then enter a 0 (zero) for the AGI and e-file again.

If this is also rejected then you will have to print and mail the tax return.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for printing a tax return for mailing - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/printing/help/how-do-i-print-and-mail-my-return-in-turbotax-online...

Hello @amentin15 !

Your 2018 AGI is on the 2018 Federal tax return you filed:

Line 8b on Form 1040 (for tax year 2019)
Line 8b on Form 1040-SR (for tax year 2019)
Line 7 on Form 1040 (for tax year 2018)
Line 21 on Form 1040A (for tax years before 2018)
Line 4 on Form 1040EZ (for tax years before 2018)
Line 35 on Form 1040NR

If you filed your 2018 taxes with TurboTax, sign in and go down to Your tax returns & documents

Select View adjusted gross income (AGI)

If you are not sure which User ID you used to file go to the TurboTax login page and select

I forgot my user ID or password

You can also try viewing or downloading a transcript of your 2018 return online at irs.gov

Keep in mind at this time tax transcripts are only available online as the IRS has stopped processing transcript requests by mail until further notice.

We have also have a great article on this subject: How do I find last year's AGI?

Also, this will help with entering your AGI in TurboTax: Where do I enter AGI?

Hope that helps!
