I did my son's 2017 taxes but have lost his refund papers so I can't  give him his AGI number that he needs to finish his 2018 efiling.

The best place to get this number is from his originally-filed 2017 federal tax return. You can’t get it from a W-2, 1099, or other income statement. If you don't have a copy of your 2017 tax return, he can request a copy of his 2017 transcript from the IRS website which is available the same day. The IRS transcript will list the adjusted gross income or AGI.

  • Rounded your AGI to the nearest dollar—be sure to round up when it’s 50 cents or more and down when it’s 49 cents or less.
