Easiest way: pull last year's Form 1040 AGI is on Line 11. If you don't have a copy, options: (1) IRS "Get Transcript" online at irs.gov (instant if you can verify identity) or by mail (5-10 days), (2) if you used tax software (TurboTax, H&R Block etc.), log into that account and pull the prior return, (3) call IRS at 800-908-9946 to request a transcript by mail. If you're e-filing this year and need last year's AGI to verify identity, the transcript is your fastest bet.
Line 11 on Form 1040 (2020 onward) is your AGI — check a copy of that year's return first. No copy? Fastest free option is IRS "Get Transcript Online" at irs.gov; it pulls a Tax Return Transcript showing AGI instantly if you can verify your identity. No online verification possible → request "Get Transcript by Mail" (5-10 days) or Form 4506-T. If you used tax software (TurboTax, FreeTaxUSA, etc.), your account also stores past returns with the AGI listed. This matters most when e-filing gets rejected for an AGI mismatch — that's usually why people are searching for this.
In case you refer to AGI, then there is no way to get an AGI right now. AGI means artificial general intelligence, which implies that it has the ability to solve human-level problems in a variety of areas.
Simplest way to get it: check your previous year’s Form 1040 AGI is reported on Line 11. In case you do not have it, choices: (1) IRS "Get Transcript" service available on IRS website (irsc.gov – will be instantaneous if you are able to confirm your identity) or by mailing it (5-10 business days), (2) if you have used any tax preparation software (TurboTax, H&R Block etc.) then access your account and get your previous year’s form, (3) call the IRS at 800-908-9946 for getting transcript through mail.
