Question

2020 E-File Rejection

3 replies
37 views

I just e-filed my 2020, however my 2019 is still processing (per the IRS website), I had to mail it in last year due to stimulus issues. I refiled my 2020 as my AGI was correct and I needed to "create" my pin this time, correct? Or is this a pin from last year that i dont recall needing to create.

The 2019 tax return is not impacted by stimulus payments. The first two stimulus payments are reported on the 2020 tax return.

The Self-Select PIN could be the same from year to year. It can be used as a substitute to entering last year's adjusted gross income (AGI).

For more information:

How do I find last year’s AGI?

What is the difference between the five-digit Self-Select PIN I created last year and my Self-Select PIN this year?

I never said the 2019 return was impacted by the stimulus. I advised due to the stimulus, I needed to manually paper file my 2019 returns via mail.

It's possible. First you should try to e-file using zero as your AGI since the 2019 tax return is still processing. This is the notation on the IRS page.

If your 2019 tax return has not yet been processed, enter $0 (zero dollars) for your prior year adjusted gross income (AGI).

If necessary, you can request an PIN to file your return.
