Tax Year Prior to 2020: Where can I find the AGI on my w-2 form

[xmasbaby0]

It is not on your W-2

Your 2017 tax return shows your 2017 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 2017

If entering the amount from your 2017 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.

You can get a free transcript of your past return from the IRS:

Note: If you filed late or amended your return, your correct 2017 AGI may not be in the system.

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.

The AGI is not found on your W-2. That would be found on your 2018 return. You can get that number by logging into your 2018 return and looking on lines 4 if you filed a 1040EZ; line 21 if you filed a 1040A; and line 37 if you filed a 1040. 

You can also request a tax transcript to get that amount if you cannot get into your 2018 return. To do so, click here: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

Your AGI is not on your Form W-2.  If you are being asked for your AGI to file your 2019 tax return you are being asked for your 2018 AGI  Your 2018 AGI is on your 2018 tax return.

If you need a copy of your 2018 tax return follow these steps.

Sign in to TurboTax making sure you're using the same TurboTax account (with the same username) as in prior years.

The best and easiest way is to have last year's tax return. 

• Your AGI for 2018 is on line 7 of your Individual Tax Return FORM 1040.
• If your income was low you can try to enter "0"
• You can request a transcript Online: IRS Online Transcript
• You can call the IRS:  1-800-829-1040
• Contact your Local IRS Office:   Local IRS Offices

 Or you can choose not to E-File and Mail your tax return in.

Where can I fine my AGI!

Did you read all the posts above yours?

You need your 2018 AGI to efile 2019. The AGI is on 2018 1040 line 7. If you filed a Joint return you use the same AGI for each spouse.

A W-2 does not have an AGI number.

The 2018 AGI is on the 2018 Federal tax return you filed Form 1040 Line 7

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/how-do-i-find-last-year-s-agi/01/25947

To access your current or prior year tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on View adjusted gross income (AGI)

Or go to this IRS website for free federal tax return transcripts - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

If your tax return continues to be rejected with the 2018 AGI then enter a 0 (zero) for the AGI and e-file again.

If this is also rejected then you will have to print and mail the tax return.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for printing a tax return for mailing - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/printing/help/how-do-i-print-and-mail-my-return-in-turbotax-online...
