I am trying to figure out MAGI.  I itemize on our tax return.  We deduct property tax, interest from our home mortgage, Traditional IRA contribution, and charity.  Do these deductions needed to added back to income when calculating MAGI?

    there are multiple definitions of MAGI

     

    why are you trying to calculate it and that will help with a response.

    In order to see if we qualify for a deduction for health insurance using the market.

    @jamesrath1970 begin with Line 11 (AGI) on your tax return

     

    there are only a few adjustments from that figure:

    AGI and then: 

    • Excluded foreign income
    • Add Nontaxable Social Security benefits (add the difference between line 6a abd 6b)
    • Add Tax-exempt interest (add line 2a)
