Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Those are 2 different Pins used for 2 entirely different purposes.   Only the IRS can get you the IP Pin - not everyone has this; only certain taxpayers.   The other pin is a 5 digit number (self-select pin) you made up last year - you can use last year's AGI if you don't remember the 5 digit pin you used last year - you only need one of those numbers to e-file.   For identification purposes, you need to enter either last year’s Self-Select PIN 95 digit) or adjusted gross income (AGI).   No one at TurboTax has access to either pin number.  @CREMSE 

 

The Self-Select PIN is a random five-digit number that you enter as your electronic signature when e-filing your return.

The IP PIN is a six-digit number that the IRS assigns to victims of tax-related identity theft.   How to get my IP PIN
