To find your prior-year Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), look on a copy of the tax return you filed last year.
Your 2020 AGI will be on Line 11 of Form 1040.
If you filed with 1040.com, we’ll automatically carry forward your prior-year AGI to validate your identity when you file this year. You can also sign in and view a completed copy of your return from last year. In the upper left-hand corner of the PDF, you will see which main tax form your return was filed on.
