Above-the-Line Deductions

Formula:

What is AGI?

Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is your total gross income minus specific deductions (called "above-the-line" deductions). AGI is on line 11 of your Form 1040 and determines eligibility for many tax credits and deductions.

Why AGI Matters

Your AGI affects: eligibility for Roth IRA contributions, child tax credit phase-outs, student loan interest deduction, medical expense deductions (must exceed 7.5% of AGI), and many state tax calculations.

  • Student loan interest (up to $2,500)
  • HSA contributions ($4,150 individual / $8,300 family in 2024)
