What is AGI?

Adjusted Gross Income, or AGI, is a key figure in your tax return. It represents your total gross income for the year after certain adjustments or deductions have been applied, such as contributions to retirement accounts, student loan interest payments, or educator expenses. This number is crucial because it determines your taxable income and eligibility for certain credits and deductions. Without your AGI, you won’t be able to prepare your taxes by yourself and file them electronically, and your refund could be delayed.

Why Is Your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) Important?

Your AGI plays a central role in filing your taxes. It’s the number the IRS uses to verify your identity when you file electronically, ensuring that only you can submit your tax return. If you’re missing your AGI from last year’s tax return, you may not be able to file your taxes at all, leading to significant delays in processing and receiving your refund. That's why it’s critical to have your AGI ready when filing.

How Do I Find My Adjusted Gross Income (AGI)?

Finding your AGI is simple if you have access to last year’s tax return. Your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is listed on Form 1040 from your previous tax year. If you no longer have access to your 1040, you can retrieve your AGI by logging into your IRS account and viewing your tax transcript. However, if you’ve forgotten your login details or don’t have access to your prior tax records, it can be difficult to recover your AGI. In such cases, contacting a tax professional is the best course of action to avoid delays in filing your taxes.

Don’t waste time searching—call 1-833-412-2937 now, and we’ll guide you through the process or file your return without needing your AGI.

Who Needs Their AGI to File Taxes?

Anyone who files their taxes electronically will need their Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) from the prior year. This applies to individuals filing on their own, using tax preparation software, or even filing through a tax preparer depending on which online software they are using. The IRS uses your AGI to verify your identity and to confirm that the correct person is submitting the return. Without your AGI, your tax return could be rejected, leading to unnecessary delays in processing your refund.

Common Issues When Trying to Retrieve Your AGI

  • Lost Last Year’s Tax Return: If you no longer have access to your prior year's tax return, locating your AGI can be challenging. The AGI is listed on line 11 of your 1040 form, but if the document is lost, you may need to retrieve it from the IRS.

  • Locked Out of IRS Account: Many people forget their IRS login information, which makes it difficult to retrieve tax transcripts or access AGI records.

  • Multiple Tax Preparers or Software Programs: If you've used multiple tax preparers or switched tax software, retrieving records from previous years can be confusing. Different platforms may store your returns in various places, leading to added frustration.
