    Your 2018 AGI is on tax form 1040 line 7. 

    To file your 2018 tax return, the tax return you are preparing now, you need your 2017 AGI.

    Here is where to find your 2017 AGI on each type of tax return:

    Form 1040 – Line 37 

    Form 1040A – Line 21 

    Form 1040EZ – Line 4

    Form 1040NR – Line 36

    Form 1040X – Line 1, Column A

    If you prepared in TurboTax Online, here is how to access your prior return:

    1.       Make sure you’re signed in to your TurboTax account.

    2.       Select Tax Home from the left menu.

    3.       Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and select 2017.

    4.       Select View adjusted gross Income (AGI)

    If you prepared your tax return in TurboTax CD/Download, it should be saved on your computer.

    If you prepared your tax return through other software, you can request a transcript from the IRS.

    If you filed your tax return after October, 2018, use $0.

    The IRS requires that your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) from your tax return from the previous year be included with any tax return e-filed this year.

     

    If you had filed with TurboTax last year, the AGI would have been automatically added to the return. If you did not file with TurboTax last year (or if you filed in a different TurboTax account), you will need to enter the AGI from last year manually. The AGI is added near the end of the filing process, just before filing the return.

     

    To find the AGI from a different TurboTax account, sign in to that account, then scroll down on the opening page until you get to Your Tax Returns and Documents. Chose 2018 and download your tax return.

     

    If your previous year tax returns are not available, you can use the IRS Get Transcript tool. Try the online option first. If you are unable to obtain the transcript online, you can have one sent to the address the IRS has on record for you. You can find IRS Get Transcript here.

    The IRS uses your prior year AGI to combat fraud. 

     

    You can find your 2018 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) by:

     

    • Looking at line 7 on page 2 of your 2018 Form 1040; or
    • You can request a transcript of your 2018 tax return from the IRS to ensure you have the right number. You can request your transcript online at the following link: Get Transcript 

    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 2018 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.
