Topic:  Locate your AGI (Adjusted Gross Income)


How do I get my original AGI if I cannot locate my last year's return?

To retrieve your original AGI from your previous year's tax return you may do one of the following:

  • Contact the IRS toll free at 1-800-829-1040
  • Complete Form 4506-T Transcript of Electronic Filing at no cost
  • Complete Form 4506 Copy of Income tax Return

Note: Please allow 7-10 days for the transcript to arrive.


What do I use for the original AGI if my filing status has changed from last year?

If your filing status changed from the previous year to "Married Filing Joint", then each taxpayer will use their individual original AGI from their respective prior year tax returns.

If the change is from "Married Filing Joint", then both taxpayers will use the same original AGI from the prior year's joint tax return.
