In order to provide consent for e-filing your current year’s Tax Returns, you need to either:
- Use the Self-Select Method with a PIN and your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) from your last year’s tax return; or,
- Sign Form 8897.
The most convenient way is to use the Self-Select Pin Method. So how do you find your AGI on your previous year’s Tax Return?
Self-Select Pin Method
- Open last year’s Form 1040.
- Find your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) on Page 1, Line 11.
- Enter your PIN and AGI on the E-filing Consent page.
Keep in mind, if you filed jointly with a spouse last year, you BOTH have the same AGI.
