What do I do, my dad claimed and filed my taxes for me in 2016? I only have my w2s. Im trying to file alone this year. It keeps rejecting me asking me for more paperwork.

Are you saying that someone else is claiming you and you are not claiming yourself?

Or do you need your 2016 AGI in order to e-file your 2017 tax return?  Does your dad have a copy of the 2016 return he filed for you?

I am claiming myself and my daughter this year. But I dont have information from 2016 because my dad did it for me last year when he did claim me.

He only gave me my w2s from 2016

You need a copy of the tax return from 2016. Your 2016 tax return shows your 2016 Adjusted Gross Income  (AGI)  If you filed a joint return then the AGI is the same for each of you.

Form 1040EZ    line 4

Form 1040A       line 21

Form 1040        line 37

If you are using the same TT account that you used last year, you should also be able to find this number in your Tax Timeline for 2016

If entering the amount from your 2016 tax return does not work, then try entering “0” instead.  If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.

Note: If you filed late or amended your return, your correct 2016 AGI may not be in the system. The IRS database may have errors for 2016 AGI's.  A number of people have experienced rejections  from the IRS even when entering correct AGI's from their 2016 returns.   When it happens, you just have to mail the return.

Note:  If you mail your federal return, you will also need to mail your state return.  You will not be able to e-file your state return.
