My pin for this year's taxes doesn't work

There are two different PINS entered in different places.  Which one are you asking about?

 

The 6 digit IP PIN is entered under Federal / Other tax situations  / Identity Protection PIN.  The IRS issues an IP PIN to confirmed victims of identity theft.

 

The 5 digit e-filing PIN is required to electronically file your tax return.  You choose a 5 digit e-filing PIN the first time you e-file, and use it every year thereafter.

 

If you don't remember it, you can use your AGI (adjusted gross income) from last year's tax return.
