If the field is blank, just enter any 5-digit number. Same goes for your spouse if you're filing jointly.

No, we don't have your self-select pin but we can guide you where to find it. If you don't remember the one you selected last year you can create a new one to use.
Also, the 5 digit self-selected PIN is on the Federal Information worksheet for the year you filed, on Page 4 of the worksheet. When you view or print your tax return make sure you check to Include Government and TurboTax Worksheets (optional), then select View or Print Forms.

You can enter any 5 digit code you select for the e-filing PIN. However, you must enter the 2021 AGI as reported on your 2021 federal tax return, Form 1040 Line 11, to e-file the 2022 tax return.
