I recently switched from using Turbo tax. For 2022 I paper filed. Does anyone know how I can find my PIN so I can electronically file in future years?

The 5 digit e-filing PIN can be any self-selected 5 digits and can be changed from year to year if necessary.  What you will need for e-filing is the prior year Adjusted Gross Income which for tax year 2022 will be on your Form 1040 Line 11 to be used on the 2023 return for e-filing.

If you are referring to the 6 digit Identity Protection PIN sent to you each year by the IRS, that number is entered in the TurboTax program in the Other Tax Situations section.

I switched from using turbo tax, I did not use TurboTax for 2022. Is there a way I can find my 5 digit PIN from 2021?

@nkoloski2 If you used the TurboTax online editions for tax year 2021 you will need to download the PDF of the 2021 tax return.  The 5 digit PIN should be located on the Federal Information Worksheet at the bottom of the worksheet, Page 4.

To access the 2021 online return you will need to start a 2022 return, enter some personal information and then click on Tax Home on the left side of the online program screen.  You do Not have to complete, pay for or file the 2022 online return, this procedure is only used to access prior year online returns.

To access your prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Start the 2022 online tax return by entering some personal information then click on Tax Home on the left side of the screen.

On the Tax Home webpage -

Scroll down to the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

When I print the document I can’t get the worksheet to print. Do you know how I do that?

Does the 2021 PDF download show/include the Federal Information Worksheet?  If so, you can print the pages of the worksheet with any PDF compatible program installed on your computer, such as Adobe Reader.

@nkoloski2 If the Federal Information Worksheet is not included in the PDF, then TurboTax has removed all the worksheets and information pages from the PDF download for prior tax years.  This happens each tax year at the end of the season just prior to the online editions closing to prepare for the next tax year.

In early December the 2023 the online editions will become available and then the prior year online returns should include all the worksheets and information pages.
