The IRS will use your information from your 2018 tax return if you have not filed your 2019 tax return.

If you need an IP PIN to file your taxes you can:

Retrieve your IP PIN online at the IRS's Get an IP PIN site; or
Call the IRS at 1-800-908-4490 to have your IP PIN mailed to you (this can take up to 21 days)

My IRS IP PIN is 6 digits. This is from the IRS Notice CP01A. TurboTax only accepts 5 digits. Why?

My return is also being rejected because Turbo Tax Pin is only allowing 5 digits instead the 6 digit pin issued by the IRS. Please advise ASAP

I'm helping, my daughter - she did not file last year as she did not work. She does not have an e-pin from last year to use this year but is due last's years stimulus check (2020) so I want to file via online (efile)

She will use the 2019 AGI which should be zero to use e-file. You can find more information about validating her return at the following IRS link.

My son's federal return has been rejected because the AGI or E-filing PIN from 2019 is wrong. The AGI is correct but I cannot find the E-filing PIN. Can you help?

Only one needs to be correct ... so did he file a 2020 return ?

If so look at line 8B of the form 1040 for the AGI ... do not use the amount on an amended return.

If he only filed a non filer's return then use $1 for the AGI.

If neither of those work then use a single zero for the AGI.

If all of these fail then he will need to mail in the 2020 return.

Yes and AGI reported was correct so why can't he file electronically.

Again if the AGI from the original return will not work and $1 or zero will not work then the only option is to mail in a paper return or pay a local professional to file the return since they don't need the prior year AGI to efile the return.
