I can't find my record of 1040 on here from my prior year return. I need to know my Agi but I think the number might be 0. Both boxes used to determine Agi is blank

The boxes are blank and I'm not sure what those numbers would be anyway. They don't show a denomination to add or subtract from. So do I just put 0? Because I need my refund

The 2023 AGI is on your 2023 Form 1040 Line 11.  If you filed as Married Filing Jointly the AGI is the same for the both of you.

 

To access your prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

 

Start the 2024 online tax return by entering some personal information then click on Tax Home on the left side of the screen.

 

On the Tax Home webpage -

Scroll down to the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

 

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

 

Or go to this IRS website for free federal tax return transcripts - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

For a fee of $30 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

You need your 2023 AGI to efile 2024. The AGI is on 2023 1040 or 1040SR line 11. If you filed a Joint return you use the same AGI for each spouse.

If you didn't file 2023 or filed it later in the year or mailed it, then try entering 0 for the AGI. If that doesn't work you will have to print and mail your return.

The IRS uses your prior year AGI to combat fraud.   

 

You can find your 2023 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) by:

  • Looking at line 11 on page 1 of your 2023 Form 1040
  • Requesting a transcript of your 2023 tax return from the IRS. You can request your transcript online at the following link: Get Transcript 

 

Please click on this TurboTax article for more information. 

 

Check these items as well to ensure you have the correct number.  If you: 

  • Filed late last year after mid-November or your return was processed after that time—try entering 0
  • Amended your return last year—make sure you’re using the AGI from your original return, not the amended one. (If you only have a 1040X form, it’s on line 1, column A). 
  • Rounded your AGI to the nearest dollar—be sure to round up when it’s 50 cents or more and down when it’s 49 cents or less. 
  • Filed with your spouse last year—you and your spouse have the same 2023 AGI. (Don’t split the AGI amount or enter  0  for one of you). 

 

Time-saving Tip: If what you entered is correct and you continue to get a reject, you won't be able to e-file. There's probably a data mismatch at the government, or some other situation beyond your control that prevents your return from being e-filed. In this case, your only option would be to print and mail in your return. 

 

This article will give you instruction on how to print and mail your return.
