I can't find my AGI. What should I do?

If you filed a return last tax year that was accepted by the IRS prior to their mid-October Extension Deadline then you should have a return "on file" with them.  If you do not remember your prior year AGI but need that information you have a few options:

1.  If you filed with TaxSlayer and the return was accepted you can access the prior year account for that information.
2.  You can contact the IRS Help Desk at 1-800-829-1040.

If you only need the information so that you can e-file a return this year (and you had an accepted return prior to mid-October) then you can choose to use the Alternate PIN option within our program or click here to obtain an Alternate PIN.  This is available within the e-file steps.

NoteIf you use the same TaxSlayer account from year to year and your prior year return was electronically filed and accepted, TaxSlayer will automatically populate your prior year AGI within the e-file process.
