enter $0 since you never previously filed or if you previously file with another program, you will have to obtain that information.

Your 2017 AGI is exactly what is says – the AGI amount from your originally-filed 2017 tax return.

If you filed a 2017 return but somebody claimed you as a dependent, enter the AGI from your 2017 return – not theirs.
If you filed jointly last year but separately this year, enter the AGI from your joint 2017 return.
- Same goes for recently-widowed or divorced taxpayers who filed jointly last year.
If you're filing jointly this year but used Married Filing Separately last year, enter each spouse's AGI from their respective 2017 returns.
- Same goes for newlywed couples.
If you didn't file last year, enter 0.

If you can not obtain your prior years tax return, you can always order a IRS transcript and file for an extension. Just make sure you pay estimated taxes by midnight tonigh so you won't be charged interest or penalties for not filing timely.
