You won't find your 2016 AGI on last year's W-2.
To find your W-2 information, download the PDF of your 2016 tax return and there will be a W-2 worksheet included. First, make sure you’re in the same TurboTax account as last year. Then, if you haven’t already, you’ll need to upgrade (if you're in Free Edition) and pay for TurboTax before getting access.
Payment instructions:
- Sign in to your return (past the Take me to my return button).
(Then, Upgrade in the left-hand menu if you haven’t already done so.)
- Select File in the left-hand menu and continue until you get to Review your order.
- Select Start and follow the on-screen instructions to pay for the product you have chosen.
To access your current (if available) or prior year return:
- Sign in to TurboTax using the same login information you used for last year.
- Go to Your tax returns & documents at the bottom of the main screen (if you're already in your return, select Tax Home in the left-hand menu first).
- If not already visible, select Show and then the year you're looking for.
- Then select Download/print return (PDF) or Download .tax file.

The best place to get this number is from your originally-filed 2016 federal tax return.
If you don't have a copy of your last years taxes, you can order a transcript from the IRS. Go to their
Get Transcript site, choose
Get Transcript Online, and follow the directions (if you don't already have an account, you'll need to set one up).
