How do I correct the self choosen 5 digit pin code

The 5 digit pin is an electronic filing pin that you create for your signature. Each year you can create a new pin, you don't have to remember the one that you used last year. If you've already entered it, you don't need to change it.

 

For more information, review What's my signature ID?  and the IRS article Self-select PIN method for Forms 1040.

@priestwone 

Are you referring to a rejection error code/message?    If you efiled and got a rejection error that mentioned the self-select PIN, it's more likely that it was rejecting because of the 2024 AGI and not the 5-digit PIN (which can be anything you choose, except can't be all zeros.)   Did the rejection error mention both a self-select PIN (aka "prior-year PIN") and AGI?   Or did the rejection mention an IP PIN (a 6-digit Identity Protection PIN?) 

 

If you provide the exact rejection error code/message, we may be able to further advise  you on what steps to take.
