The PIN number was a random number that you chose last year and
is not kept in our system. Only you have access to that number. The IRS is
asking for your last year's Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) in lieu of
that PIN number.
You can use last year's AGI. The original AGI
is the amount from your prior year originally filed return as accepted by IRS.
The amount can be located on:
·
Form 1040 - Line 38
·
Form 1040A - Line 21
·
Form 1040EZ - Line 4
Do not enter a corrected amount or the amount
from an amended tax return.
For the purpose of signing your electronic
return, you can reuse your Self-Select PIN from last year or create a new one
to use, it doesn’t matter which option you choose.
You create your own Self-Select PIN. You do
not register the PIN with the IRS before filing or need to contact the IRS to
get it. The five-digit PIN can be any five digits except all zeros.
