Total Tax vs AGI

user17726029146 — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 19:14:50 GMT

I'm not understanding why my Total Income is the same as my Adjusted Gross Income in my Turbo Tax Summary.

Can someone explain?

Thank you

Total Income is the sum of all your income sources, such as wages, interest, dividends, and other earnings.

Adjusted gross income (AGI) is your total Income minus specific deductions called adjustments to income. These adjustments include things like educator expenses, student loan interest, and certain retirement contributions.

If your TurboTax Summary shows Total Income and AGI as the same amount, it likely means you have no adjustments to income reducing your Total Income.

This can happen if you didn't enter or qualify for any deductions that adjust your income before calculating AGI.
