then why has my eFile been rejected MANY times as I need my PIN. When I erase PIN on TurboTax you do not let me complete to try to refile!
If you don't have your self-select PIN, not the same as the e-File PIN, because you didn't write it and keep it in a safe place, the PIN field should be empty and the AGI from last year is used.
If the AGI doesn't match, you have to file on paper via US Mail.
If you are REJECTED, you can always try again and again and again, as many posters here will attest to.
