deductions or
credits are determined based on either AGI or modified adjusted gross income (MAGI). MAGI is AGI modified by certain amounts specific to the given limitation.Gross income includes
wages,
interest income, dividend income, income from certain
retirement accounts,
capital gains,
alimony received, rental income, royalty income, farm income, unemployment compensation, and certain other kinds of income. AGI is the last number on the first page of the
