How do you calculate your AGI?

[ModestaL]

Are you referring to your current return?

No last year's @TurboTaxModesta

[ModestaL]

Okay, your prior year AGI will be listed on your tax return from last year: Form 1040 – Line 37  Form 1040A – Line 21  Form 1040EZ – Line 4  Form 1040NR – Line 36 and Form 1040X – Line 1, Column A). Do you have a copy? Did you file with TurboTax last year or somewhere else?

[pbischoff-pb]

Yes, 2018

[pbischoff-pb]

Since we have taxes taken out of our SS payments, will that affect AGI?

I have been filing with Turbo Tax for many years

No the SS withholding doesn’t affect your AGI.  Your AGI is one number from your tax return.

[ModestaL · Accepted solution]

The Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) calculation is relatively straightforward.

• It is equal to the total income you report that’s subject to income tax—such as earnings from your job, self-employment, alimony income and interest from a bank account—minus specific deductions, or “adjustments” that you’re eligible to take.
• Your AGI is calculated before you take exemptions and the standard or itemized deduction—which you report in later sections of the return.

For Example: If my income from my job and other income is $40,000 and my deductions is $5,000 then my AGI is $35,000 (which is reported on Form 1040 – Line 37  Form 1040A – Line 21  Form 1040EZ – Line 4  Form 1040NR – Line 36 and Form 1040X – Line 1, Column A).

How do you find out your deductions? All I have is my w-2 but it won't let me file til I have the AGI

[ModestaL]

You would sign in, click on Take me to my return, then, Federal Taxes tab and the Deduction and Credits tab.

The problem is I had to make a different account because I forgot my password but I won't let me change it because I don't have my number I used anymore and the alternative way keeps saying something went wrong when I know I have all the correct info.
