I don't remember our (Wife and I ) pin nunbers. How do I get new ones to use for 2021 electronic filling
We have no idea what type of PIN you are referring to; there are more than one kind of PIN. e.g., if you are a victim of ID theft and the IRS assigned you a 6-digit IP PIN (or you opted in to that program), or are you referring to the 5-digit PIN used to verify an efiled return?
If you are talking about 6-digit IP PINs (Identity Protection PIN), see this IRS website:
https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/retrieve-your-ip-pin
If you are asking about your 5-digit Self-Select PINs from last year, you're not required to use your 5-digit Self-Select PIN from last year. See the following explanation:
When efiling, there are a couple of places where TurboTax might ask you about a 5-digit PIN. In the section where you verify your efiling, TurboTax may ask you to provide either the 2020 AGI or your prior-year Self-Select PIN. Many, if not most, people use the 2020 AGI instead; i.e., you can choose the AGI field and enter the 2020 AGI and leave the PIN field blank.
However, if you're asking about a later screen (may be titled "Signature ID") that asks you for a 5-digit PIN and also has your birth date and today's date, that screen says to use "any 5 digits of your choosing." In that field you can either use the same 5-digit PIN as last year (for those who still have it), or you can make a new one. Whatever you enter there can be used again next year.
That being said, if you DO want to try to find your 5-digit Self-Select PINs from last year, you may be able to retrieve it if you have a full PDF of your 2020 return that includes the worksheets, or can download one from your Online TurboTax account if you used the Online version last year. Look for a worksheet called "Federal Information Worksheet", and the PIN should be near the bottom of Page 4 of that worksheet.
