If you are referring to your 5-digit pin to e-file, the IRS has discontinued the e-filing PIN option. To verify your identity for e-filing, you’ll need to use last years AGI.  If you are referring to your 6-digit IP (Identity Protection) Pin, you can retrieve that online at the IRS's Get an IP PIN site, or call the IRS at 1-800-908-4490 to have an IP PIN mailed to you.

To verify your identity for e-filing will use last year's adjusted gross income (AGI) as your PIN. 

If you do not have a copy of your 2018 tax return you can get one from TurboTax it will have your AGI.  Follow thee steps to get a copy of your prior-year tax return.
