I didn't file 2023 taxes until Jan 2025 and it isn't entered into the IRS database yet. I want to efile 2024 taxes and it requires 2023 AGI to verify it is me. Since my 2023 isn't in the IRS database my 2023 AGI will not match that it is me.
How can I efile my 2024 taxes? Is there another option?
Thank you
In
general,if you do not have your prior
year'sAGI,
you will have to mail your tax return.
The IRS requires your 2023 AGI to verify your identity for e-filing, but if you paper file, you will not need your AGI.
However, if you have an Identity Protection PIN (IP) you will enter it in your TurboTax software.
It will verify your identity instead of using your prior-year AGI.
You can get an IP PIN by using the online tool.

Enter 0 for the AGI since you filed 2023 late. The IRS doesn’t have it in their database to lookup.
