You then use your AGI to calculate your taxable income by applying either the <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.eztaxreturn.com\/blog\/tax-credits-vs-deductions-whats-the-difference\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_term=whatisAGI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">standard deduction or itemized deductions<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what does that mean, exactly? Let\u2019s review some key terms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gross income: <\/strong>Gross income is your earnings before taxes or other deductions. This includes not only your wages but also other earnings like dividends, business income, retirement distributions, capital gains, as well as other income. Your AGI will never exceed your gross income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Above-the-line deductions: <\/strong>Above-the-line deductions are separate from the standard or itemized deductions found on <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.eztaxreturn.com\/blog\/2023-beginners-guide-to-common-irs-forms\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_term=whatisAGI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Form 1040<\/a>. They are subtracted from your gross income to determine your AGI. Above-the-line deductions include things like retirement contributions, business expenses, and student loan interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Adjustments:<\/strong> Adjustments are money you spent during the year that the federal government allows you to exclude from your taxable income. Some adjustments are above-the-line deductions (e.g., student loan interest), and some are qualified expenses (e.g., alimony payments).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Taxable income:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.eztaxreturn.com\/blog\/income-taxable-or-non-taxable\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_term=whatisAGI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Taxable income<\/a> is the portion of your gross income used to calculate your tax liability for the year. In other words, it is the amount of income subject to tax after any qualifying deductions. Taxable income is based on your AGI. Determine your taxable income by subtracting the standard or itemized deduction from your AGI. (You cannot apply both\u2014you must pick either the standard or itemized deduction).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taxable income = AGI &#8211; standard OR itemized deduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size has-medium-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eztaxreturn.com\/?utm_dest=site&amp;action=start_return&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_term=whatisAGI&amp;gid=whatisAGI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">File Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-does-agi-matter\"><strong>Why Does AGI Matter?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AGI is important for determining your taxable income, of course. But it is also important because it can impact the deductions and credits you are eligible for. Typically, the lower your AGI, the bigger the credits or deductions you can claim\u2014and the lower your tax bill.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most states will also use your AGI to determine what you owe in state taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-calculate-agi\"><strong>How to Calculate AGI?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.irs.gov\/app\/vita\/content\/globalmedia\/4491_adjustments_to_income.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">calculate your AGI<\/a>, you will need to fill out the Adjustments to Income section of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/pub\/irs-pdf\/f1040s1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Form 1040, Schedule 1<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first page reports Additional Income you may have earned outside of your W-2 income, such as alimony payments, unemployment benefits, farm income, business income (or loss), awards or prizes, rental income, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second page is where you report any Adjustments to Income. These include things like educator expenses, IRA contributions, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, during the tax year, did you or your spouse:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pay qualified educator expenses (up to $300)?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Receive income from self-employment?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have self-employed health insurance?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pay a penalty for early withdrawal of savings?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pay alimony?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make contributions to a traditional IRA?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make a contribution to a health savings account?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pay student loan interest?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Receive income from jury duty that was turned over to an employer?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the answer is yes, you can add these expenses to your Adjustments sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your AGI will be your gross income total minus any adjustments (e.g., eligible expenses and deductions).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-to-find-your-adjusted-gross-income\"><strong>Where to Find Your Adjusted Gross Income<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people ask how to find their adjusted gross income on W-2 forms. However, AGI is not listed there. Instead, your Form W-2 will list your total earnings from your employer for the year, as well as the amount of <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.eztaxreturn.com\/blog\/income-tax-withholding-and-estimated-tax-payments\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_term=whatisAGI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">taxes withheld<\/a>. You will need this information to calculate your AGI, which will appear on Line 11 of your IRS Form 1040 on your tax return.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> If you file your taxes electronically, you will need to <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.eztaxreturn.com\/blog\/help-my-return-was-rejected-due-to-the-prior-year-agi\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_term=whatisAGI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">validate your return with your signature and prior-year AGI<\/a> or prior-year Self-Select PIN.
