It depends upon which PIN you are referring to.

The IRS discontinued the use of the e-filing PIN. You will need to use your 2018 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) instead. See the following links for more information.

E-filing PIN

If you have an 6 digit PIN from the IRS, this is used to verify your identity if you have been a victim identity theft in the past.

5 digit PIN vs. IP PIN

If you need to obtain your 6-digit PIN from the IRS, you will need to contact them.

Getting IND-181-01 - Protection PIN (IP PIN) for the first taxpayer on your return is missing. Have PIN from IRS but it is a 6 digit code and the eFile PIN is 5.
