There are two types of PIN numbers:
If you're
referring to the 5-digit e-file PIN, it is a 5-digit number that you
choose. This acts as an "electronic signature." Enter any 5 numbers.
If you are referring to the 6-digit IRS Identity
Protection (IP) PIN, this is used in cases of identity theft. If you feel your identity has been stolen, use the IRS online tool Get an IP PIN or visit Retrieve Your IP PIN for more information.
