I'm having trouble getting my pin from IRS and my return keeps getting rejected

First, are you sure you need a PIN from the IRS? PIN's from the IRS are by request only, and you'd have received it in the mail. It's not super common. 

More often, people get their prior year AGI confused for a PIN, as it's required to e-file. 

There's some good info on them here: 

Most taxpayers don't need an an IP PIN — the IRS only issues them in select cases. More info

If you're locked out and do need a PIN, you'll probably want to take an extension and file once you receive it. 

OR you can always mail in your return.
