Which Pin number are you referring to?  

For assistance with locating your AGI, please see the TurboTax FAQ: How do I find last year's AGI?

[dickkillian]

I know my AGI. What i don't know is my pin number from last year. The IRS keeps rejecting my 2919 return because my wifes pin # did not match last years pin #

The IRS has eliminated the use of a PIN to e-file your 2019 tax return.  To verify your identity for e-filing will use last year's adjusted gross income (AGI) as your PIN.  You will use last year's AGI for yourself and for your wife you do not use a "pin #".

The IRS has eliminated the use of a PIN to e-file your 2019 tax return.  To verify your identity for e-filing will use last year's adjusted gross income (AGI) as your PIN. 

You can get a copy of your 2018 tax return, from TurboTax it will have your AGI.  Follow these steps to get a copy of your prior-year tax return.

Sign in to TurboTax making sure you're using the same TurboTax account (with the same username) as in prior years.

1. Select Documents from the navigation when it appears.
2. Use the drop-down menu at the top of the screen to choose the tax year you want and then select Download PDF.

The PIN used when I filed my return.  How do I know the correct one is being used this year?  I've downloaded last years tax return from the IRS and AGI numbers match so I assume the PIN is the cause for my return being rejected.

[coarsegoldgg]

Why does the IRS say the reason for rejecting is PIN or AGI doesn't match.  I verified AGI is same.

[coarsegoldgg]

If you have an account with the IRS you can download your return directly from them which is what they have on file.  If you don't have account you can create one for free.

The Intuit Experts answer is incorrect.  2019 TurboTax keeps asking for e-file PIN.  I have input and verified my last years AGI but the PIN is still required.  I do not remember last years PIN.  Please help me get past this or it will be the last time I use TurboTax.

Thank you.

You can find your 2018 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) by:

• Looking at line 7 on page 2 of your 2018 Form 1040; or
• You can request a transcript of your 2018 tax return from the IRS to ensure you have the right number. You can request your transcript online at the following link: Get Transcript 

Check these items as well to ensure you have the correct number.  If you:

• Filed late last year after mid-November or your return was processed after that time—try entering 0.
• Amended your return last year—make sure you’re using the AGI from your original return, not the amended one. (If you only have a 1040X form, it’s on line 1, column A).
• Rounded your AGI to the nearest dollar—be sure to round up when it’s 50 cents or more and down when it’s 49 cents or less.
• Filed with your spouse last year—you and your spouse have the same 2018 AGI. (Don’t split the AGI amount or enter 0 for one of you).

Time-saving Tip: If what you entered is correct and you continue to get a reject, you won't be able to e-file. There's probably a data mismatch at the government, or some other situation beyond your control that prevents your return from being e-filed. In this case, your only option would be to print and mail in your return.

This article will give you instruction on how to print and mail your return.
