My mother claimed me on taxes for 2017, and this year I’m doing taxes myself. It’s asked me for the 2017 AGI. Am I to use mine and hers together or only mines?

If you filed a Tax Return last year, you will use your AGI from that return.  You SHOULD NOT use the AGI from your Mother's Tax Return even though she claimed you as a Dependent.

If you didn't file a Tax Return on your own last year, you should use -0- (zero) as your AGI.
