The 5 digit pin is a number you created last year when you e-filed your return. To e-file this year's return, you need EITHER the 5 digit pin you created last year (you create a new one each time you e-file) OR last year's AGI number - you do not need both. The 5 digit pin you created last year is not recorded anywhere unless you wrote it down, so it is probably easier to use last year's AGI number if you don't remember the pin you used last year.
There is a 6 digit IP pin that only some taxpayers need - the IRS issues those in identity theft situations. Don't confuse those 2 pins. Most people do not have an IP PIN.
