The PIN number was a random number that you chose last year and is
not kept in our system.
Only you have access to that number. The IRS is asking
for your last year's Adjusted
Gross Income (AGI) in lieu of that
PIN number. You can look on your joint return from last year and find the AGI.
You can use last year's AGI.
The original AGI is the amount from your prior year originally filed return as
accepted by IRS. The amount can be located on:
- Form 1040 - Line 38
- Form 1040A - Line 21
- Form 1040EZ - Line 4
Do not enter a corrected amount or the amount from an amended tax
return.
For the
purpose of signing your electronic return, you can reuse your Self-Select PIN
from last year or create a new one to use, it doesn’t matter which option you
choose.
You create
your own Self-Select PIN. You do not register the PIN with the IRS before
filing or need to contact the IRS to get it. The five-digit PIN can be any five
digits except all zeros.
