When asked for adjusted gross income for each of your dependents is that the previous or current tax year

I have a daughter who turned 19 in December 2024 and is a full-time college student. She is my dependent. She did have jobs in 2023 and 2024. Is Turbo Tax asking for 2023 AGI for her or 2024?

If asked at the point where she is about to file her return the AGI being asked is the amount on her 2023 return.

I'm having trouble thinking of where TurboTax would ask for the AGI of "each of your dependents." Does it actually say "each"?


Is TurboTax asking this on your tax return? Is it in the federal return or the state? If it's the state, what state? Exactly where in TurboTax is it asking this - in what topic? What is the exact wording of the question in TurboTax?
