What Is Adjusted Gross Income(AGI)?

According to IRS

“Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is defined as gross income minus adjustments to income. Gross income includes your wages, dividends, capital gains, business income, retirement distributions as well as other income. Adjustments to Income include such items as Educator expenses, Student loan interest, Alimony payments or contributions to a retirement account. Your AGI will never be more than your Gross Total Income on you return and in some cases may be lower.”

Form W-2 displays Income from Salaries, Waged, Tips, etc. in box 1. Now, add income from other sources which are not reported on the w-2.
