How do I find last 2020 PIN number?

[FangxiaL]

The PIN you used last year is not kept in the TurboTax system. Only you have that information if you wrote it down. Since IRS has discontinued the use of PIN for e-filing purposes, you need to use your last year's AGI to file your 2021 tax return. 

Here is how to locate your 2020 AGI.

The IRS requires your 2020 adjusted gross income (AGI) to verify your identity for e-filing.

To find your prior year AGI please check

Which PIN do you need?  Your Self Select Pin is 5 digits and one that you create.  The IP PIN is 6 digits and assigned by the IRS.  For more details, please see the Help Article here.

Are you referring to the 5-digit PIN you used to sign your 2020 return last year?

If so, last year's 5-digit PIN (aka "Prior-Year PIN or  Prior-Year Self-Select PIN") is not necessary to verify a 2021 return for efiling.  To verify your return for efiling you can use the 2020 AGI (most common) in the AGI field instead of using the PIN field (less common.)

Be aware that later on there is another screen that asks you to "Sign" the return that wants you to enter a 5-digit PIN (it tells you to choose any 5 numbers you want).   It's on a screen with today's date and your birth date.  The numbers you choose to enter on that "signature" screen is called a Self-Select PIN and can be used again next year, if you save it in a safe place.

You can enter any 5 digit self-selected PIN.  You Must enter the correct 2021 AGI to e-file your tax return.

If the return is being rejected for the AGI then the IRS may not have your 2021 AGI in their database.

Enter a 0 (zero) for the 2021 AGI and e-file the 2022 tax return again.

Note - If you have received a 6 digit Identity Protection PIN from the IRS it is Not entered in PIN section for e-filing a tax return.

To enter, edit or delete a 6 digit IP PIN

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Other Tax Situations
Scroll down to Other Return Info
On Identity Protection PIN, click the start button
