Will you help me, please figure out what to do if you have been mailing in your taxes for several years.

How can you do that? They want 5 digits, right! I checked out Schedule H, it said I would not need to send it. There was no place in my tax return to go to, to fix my problem.

Your question is not linked to any other conversation I can see, so I am not sure what issue you are having. If you have been paper filing in the past, you are not going to have a 5 digit self-select pin for e-filing and you will need to use your prior year's AGI amount to e-file this year. The Self-Select PIN is a random five-digit number that you enter as your electronic signature when e-filing your return. It is not used for paper-filed returns.

For identification purposes, you need to enter either last year’s Self-Select PIN or adjusted gross income (AGI). But if you did not e-file last year, you won't have a self-select pin. If this is not what you are asking about, please comment with some more details. You mentioned Scheduled H, so the pin may not be your issue.....

if you have been paper filing the AGI from 2019 is what you need.

Note that Turbotax has issues with AGI.

If TurboTax REJECTS you,

Use a different tax software provider and it will probably work.
