What is prior year adjusted gross income (AGI)?

This is just an amount found on your prior year tax return (Line 11 of your 2024 Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR).

This number is NOT on your 2024 W-2. You'll need to get it from the 2024 1040 federal tax return you filed or by requesting a transcript.

The IRS asks for this amount so they can verify your identity when you e-file and keep your information safe.
