What do I enter for my 2024 AGI if I filed a late 2024 return?

When you file a return late, you need to enter the 2024 AGI amount that currently matches the IRS records. However, with late returns, it's not always clear if the IRS has updated their records with the late return yet.

We recommend you try one of the options below, and if the IRS doesn't accept this number, you can easily change it and resubmit your return again.

  • Enter zero.
    We recommend you try this first. This usually works if you filed late and mailed your return, and the IRS hasn't notified you about your late return. In this case, they don't yet have any 2024 AGI on file, so entering 0 is correct.
-or-

  • Enter your actual AGI amount from Line 11 of your 2024 return.
    If the IRS has sent you a notice or if they've updated their records with a late return you've filed, you should enter the AGI from the return/notice.
