No worries!
If you, your spouse, and/or a dependent were issued an IP PIN, then it is required to e-file the return. If they were voluntarily issued (you requested the IP PIN), then you can opt-out in future years. If you or a dependent were ever a victim of identity theft, the IRS will not allow an opt-out, and the IP PIN(s) will be required to e-file the return.
You can try to seek reissuance of the IP PIN here:
