Is this for the IP pin or 6 digit pin.  This year you would only need your AGI from last year to complete your return.  The IP pin will have to be mailed to you by the IRS.

Don not know what an IP pin is and I need the pin to file my return electronically, which will only let me enter 5 digits so I really don't know how to answer your question.

Please answer my question with a statement and not another question.

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.

 

The Self-Select PIN is a random five-digit number that you enter as your electronic signature when e-filing your return.

 

The IP PIN is a six-digit number that the IRS assigns to victims of tax-related identity theft.
