Previous Year or old AGI - Adjusted Gross Income

When you efile your 2012 Tax Return, you will need to provide one of the following: your 2011 AGI, your 2011 self-select PIN, or a new 2012 Electronic Filing PIN. If you don't have your old AGI, don't worry, just get a PIN instead!

Where Can I Find My Old AGI?

You can find your 2011 AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) on your 2011 Tax Return. Depending on which form you filed, look for your AGI on:

• Line 37 of Form 1040
• Line 21 of Form 1040A
• Line 4 of Form 1040EZ

If you did not submit your tax return on efile.com please see the link below or call the IRS Telephone Assistance line at 1-800-829-1040. The IRS can tell you last year's AGI over the phone, once they have verified your identity.

Don't Have Your 2011 AGI? Get a New 2012 PIN Instead!

If you do not have access to your 2011 AGI (Adjusted Gross Income), the IRS has a web page where you can get a new 2012 IRS Efile Authorization Code/Electronic Filing PIN that will allow you to efile your tax return on efile.com without having to provide your 2011 AGI.

We recommend that you get this new PIN code because, if you do,  you will not need the AGI from your 2011 Tax Return. It is quick and easy to do online: Get your Efile Authorization Code/Electronic Filing PIN here.
