Gross Income- The Internal Revenue Code defines gross income as "except as otherwise provided..., all income from whatever source derived." The "except as otherwise provided" refers to exclusions. Adjusted Gross Income (AGI)- is an important subtotal that serves as the basis for computing percentage limitations on certain itemized deductions, such as medical expenses, charitable contributions, and certain casualty losses.
Gross income on the 1040 income tax return is the total amounts of all of your worldwide taxable income added together that is on page 1 line 22 Total Income of the 1040 tax form. From the line 22 total taxable income you can have some amounts from line 23 through line 35 that can be used to reduce the gross taxable amount from the line 22 Total Income. The total amount of the adjustments form page 1 line 36 will be subtracted from the amount on line 22 Total Income and the reaming amount will be your adjusted gross income on line 37 and then that amount (AGI) will go to page 2 of the 1040 tax form line 38 for your AGI amount.
Illinois income tax is based on your federal Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), plus a few state adjustments. If the capital gain is included in your federal AGI, you will also pay state tax on it. There is no special Illinois state tax rate for capital gains, it is taxed at the same rate as ordinary income.

Yes. If this is the first time that you're filing a tax return and you had no income, etc., for the previous year, then your adjusted gross income (AGI) would be 0. AGI is the amount of your income after any adjustments (such as IRA deduction, tuition/fees or student loan interest deductions, etc.) have been subtracted from your gross income.

Yes, if you itemize deductions on Form 1040 Schedule A, but the deduction may be limited to zero if your adjusted gross income (AGI) is high and your deductible expenses are low.For example, if your AGI is $40,000 and your medical and dental expenses are $4,000, your deduction will be limited to $1,000: $40,000 AGI x 7.5% = $3,000 threshold. $4,000 expenses minus $3,000 threshold = $1,000 deduction.See the attached link for a list of expenses that qualify for the medical and dental expense deduction.
Medical expenses are deductible up to the amount that they exceed 7.5% of your AGI. If you had an adjusted gross income of $100,000 and your unreimbursed medical expenses were $13,000 than your medical expenses deductible would be $5,500 (13,000 - (100,000 * 7.5%)).
