Which PIN are you referring to?
- The IRS issued 6-digit Identity Protection (IP) PIN - How do I get my 6-digit IP PIN and enter it in TurboTax? You can't reuse it; the IRS gives you a new each year.
- The self-issued 5-digit Self-Select (SS) PIN that you create every year when you e-file. Each year you create a new SS pin that you can use as an e-file verification method next year. You can use the same SS pin each year or make up a new one, but only you know what numbers you entered. It is not saved by TurboTax.
To e-file this year, you need last year's: Either Self-Select pin or AGI. Then when you e-file next year, you will use this year's AGI or the SS pin you enter during filing this year
.
Everyone that e-files has to use the 5-digit SS pin, but only certain individual are issued an IP PIN.
Is my Self-Select PIN the same as my IP PIN? NO
Can I reuse last year's IP PIN? NO
You can reuse your Self-Select PIN each year
