How do I find last year's AGI?
by TurboTax•3610• Updated 2 days ago
To find last year's (or any past year's) adjusted gross income (AGI), select the scenario that describes your situation. If you didn’t file a tax return in 2023, enter “0” for last year’s AGI.
If you still don't find your AGI, paper file your return. The IRS requires your 2023 AGI to verify your identity for e-filing, but if you paper file, you don't need your AGI.
Here are some more tips to entering your AGI:
- Don't calculate your AGI from your W-2s or 1099s.
- If you amended last year, don’t use the AGI from that amended return. Always get it from the first return you filed, even if that AGI was technically incorrect (for example, if you forgot a W-2).
- If you printed and mailed your return and it was not processed by December 10, 2024, then enter 0 for your 2023 AGI.
- If you filed a return last year, but somebody claimed you as a dependent, enter the AGI showing on your return for last year (not theirs).
- If you filed jointly last year but separately this year, enter the AGI from last year’s return. The same goes for recently-widowed or divorced taxpayers who filed jointly last year.
- If you're filing jointly this year but selected married filing separately last year, enter each spouse's individual AGIs from last year. This also applies to newlywed couples.
- If you're a first-time filer over the age of 16, enter 0 as your AGI.
