Please see this Turbo Tax FAQ on the Self Select PIN. What is the difference between the five-digit Self-Select PIN I created last year and my Self-Select...

The 5-digit pin is for signing your electronic return.  You can reuse the pin from last year or create a new one.   If you are trying to sign the return electronically, you can create a new one if you don't remember it from last year.  If you are trying to use the pin for Identification purposes, you can enter the PIN or your Adjusted Gross Income.

You don't have to have it.   For verification purposes, a filer has to use either the 2022 AGI or the 2022 Self-Select PIN, but most people tend to use the 2022 AGI.    Fewer people use the 2022 Self-Select PIN to verify the return and many people  don't even have it.   That being said, if you have a 2022 PDF with all the worksheets, it can usually be found way down near the bottom of the 2022 Federal Information Worksheet--at least in the desktop version; I'm not sure about Online TurboTax.

 

For verification purposes, most people tend to use the 2022 AGI in the AGI field instead of verifying with the 2022 self-select PIN.   Later on, however, there's a separate signature screen where you "sign" the return.  On the signature screen there are 3 items.  It asks you to enter a 5-digit PIN (any 5 digits of your choosing), today's date, and your birth date.   If you make note of the PIN you choose there on the signature screen, you could use it again next year, but it's not necessary; a filer can choose a new one every year to sign the return.

To access your prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

 

Start the 2023 online tax return by entering some personal information then click on Tax Home on the left side of the screen.

 

On the Tax Home webpage -

Scroll down to the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

 

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.
