Adjusted gross income

Adjusted gross income is gross income reduced by trade or business expenses of individual taxpayers, expenses for property held for production of rents or royalties, and certain loss adjustments. The amount of the adjusted gross income affects the extent to which medical expenses, nonbusiness casualty and theft losses, and charitable contributions may be deducted.
