I just want to verify this because I don't recall ever needing to fill in last year's AGI to file before, but this year I am being told I need this. I am using Turbotax deluxe desktop. There is a number pre-filled in the AGI slot for me, but the software is also telling me not to guess, because it could cause my return to be rejected - should I assume the pre-filled amount is correct, and is there any way I can double check it if not?

On your 2023 tax return, your AGI is on line 11 of the Form 1040.

If you do not have a copy of your tax return, you can get your AGI from one of the IRS self-service tools:

Use your online account to immediately view your AGI on the Tax Records tab. If you're a new user, have your photo identification ready.
Use Get Transcript by Mail. You can also request a transcript by mail by calling our automated phone transcript service at 800-908-9946. Please allow 5 to 10 days for delivery.
