Your 2022 AGI verifies to the IRS that the same person using your SSN is filing a 2023 return.  It is your "electronic signature."

Do you need to find your AGI?  You need your 2022 AGI to efile 2023. The AGI is on 2022 1040 line 11. If you filed a Joint return you use the same AGI for each spouse.

How to find the AGI.

If you didn't file 2022 or filed it later in the year or mailed it, then try entering 0 for the AGI. If that doesn't work you will have to print and mail your return.
