I'm e-filing my mother's taxes and it gives me a error message with two possibilities AGI witch I double checked to be sure it's correct. It Is. The other says the 5 digit pin is incorrect. If they need one from last year I don't know it. What do I do?

I'm having the same confounding problem. I have attempted upward of 7 times to e-file my taxes and all are rejected. If as some say we can just create a new PIN each year we file why won't a newly created pin of 5 digits work? Makes no sense. Wishing Turbo Tax had a phone line.

If you are referring to your 5 digit Self-select pin, that is a random five-digit number that you enter as your electronic signature when e-filing your return. You can either use the Pin from last year or chose a new one. Please see the FAQ link provided below for more information:

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

When I key in a new 5 digit # it gives me an error stating that is incorrect and rejecting our taxes. I went out to IRS and received a PIN from them but theirs is 6 digit and will not work even if we drop off a number to for turbo tax. So frustrating -

Help! The 2022 PIN # block is only 5 digits. My 2022 PIN # is 6 digits. It does not fit in Turbos" Format. MY E-file was ejected without any number. How do I rectify?
