I was a dependent on my parents tax return last year. This year I get to file alone. When verifying my AGI line 11 on the 2024 return, do I use my parents or what?

Enter a 0 for the 2024 AGI since you did not file a 2024 tax return.

No, you don't use your parent's AGI.  

 

You have to use your prior-year AGI to validate your identify, but as a first-time filer who is over 16, enter zero as your AGI.

 

Refer to the IRS Validating your electronically filed tax return for more information.
