The 5 digit e-file PIN you used on the 2020 tax return will be on the Federal Information Worksheet on page 4 if you used TurboTax to complete and file the 2020 tax return.
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/
Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show. 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.
Why do you want it? Are you asking about your 2020 5-digit PIN so you can verify and efile a 2021 tax return? If you are trying to efile a 2021 return, it's not required. You can verify with the 2020 AGI instead. Here's more info:
Last year's 5-digit PIN (aka "Prior-Year PIN or Prior-Year Self-Select PIN") is not necessary to verify a 2021 return for efiling. To verify your return for efiling you can use the 2020 AGI in the AGI field instead of using the PIN field.
Later on there is another screen that asks you to "Sign" the return that wants you to enter a 5-digit PIN (it tells you to choose any 5 numbers you want). It's on a screen with today's date and your birth date. The numbers you choose to enter on that "signature" screen is called a Self-Select PIN and can be used again next year, if you save it in a safe place.
