Check your prior-year federal tax return
Look for “Adjusted Gross Income” on Form 1040
Use the AGI amount from Line 11 of Form 1040
If you filed jointly, use the AGI from the joint return
If you do not have the return, request a tax transcript from the IRS
If you e-filed, use the exact AGI from the filed return, not your W-2 income
If you amended your return, use the AGI from the original return unless specifically asked for amended AGI
