If I don't have my 1040, can I still use the 8879 to confirm AGI?

Yes. Since Form 8879 pulls the AGI value from Form 1040 it should work as long as it was the final version from the original filing. You can find your AGI on Line 1 of Part I.


You can read below about where to find your AGI.

If you didn't use TurboTax Online to file last year (and/or you don't have a copy of your return) then you'll need to request transcripts from the IRS or file by mail:
