In order to e-file your 2018 tax return, your 2017 AGI has to be entered in the software program as a way to verify your identity to the IRS so that your e-filed return can be accepted for processing.

I thought you said a friend did your tax return.  Is the friend still working on it and asking for your 2017 AGI?

[annat63]

Yes.  She did federal,  I did get less than last year.  Don't care at this point but she is saying she needs my afgi? I don't even Kown what this means.

Please re-read the answer I gave you previously.  It is all on this screen.  Tell your friend to try using "zero"  for your 2017 AGI.  If zero does not work, then your friend can print out your return and let you sign it and mail it in to the IRS.  She will not need your AGI if you mail the return.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS received the return.

Your 2017 tax return shows your 2017 Adjusted Gross Income  (AGI)  If you filed a joint return then the AGI is the same for each of you.

Form 1040EZ    line 4

Form 1040A       line 21

Form 1040        line 37

If you are using the same TT account that you used last year, you should also be able to find this number in your Tax Timeline for 2017

If entering the amount from your 2017 tax return does not work, then try entering “0” instead.  If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.

Note: If you filed late or amended your return, your correct 2017 AGI may not be in the system.

Note:  If you mail your federal return, you will also need to mail your state return.  You will not be able to e-file your state return.

My daughter did my taxes last year but is no where to be found.  So I have no papers.  So if I don't have those where else do I best my afgi?

She can try using "zero" for the 2017 AGI.  If zero does not work and the 2018 return cannot be e-filed, then it has to be printed, signed and mailed instead.
