What if my husband claimed me in 2016 as an dependent, do i need the AGI to file 2017 taxes if we legally seperated in 2017?

I'm trying to file my taxes and it asked if i have an AGI or someone else on my behalf.  Not sure how to answer since my husband carried me as an dependent on 2016 taxes

Yes, you need the AGI from last year's tax return. 

Your husband did not "claim you" last year. You were not a dependent. He filed a joint return, with you. His AGI is also your AGI. If you are unable to get that from him, try entering 0. If that doesn't work, you will not be able to efile and will have to print and mail your return.
