You can e-file your return this year with turbotax as long as you can find your AGI from last years 2015 tax return. If you can not find the AGI then you can always file a paper return in the mail and the AGI would not be required.

How else to get your AGI

or

You can find your AGI on:

  • Form 1040 – Line 37

  • Form 1040A – Line 21
  • Form 1040EZ – Line 4
  • Form 1040NR – Line 36
  •  Form 1040X – Line 1, Column A

Before you can e-file your 2016 federal tax return, the IRS needs to verify your identity with your 2015 adjusted gross income (AGI).

If you can’t get your AGI for e-file, don’t worry. You can still file a paper return by printing out copies of your federal and state returns and mailing them in. For information on where to send your return, go to the IRS site  Where to File Paper Tax Returns With or Without a Payment .

Tip: If you didn’t file last year and you’re in TurboTax, just tell us that when we ask you. But if you’ve already entered a number for your AGI, manually enter 0 instead
