What is PIN, signature PIN?? Driver's license number?

[tealover753]

Since our preparer has retired, I'm filing on my own for the first time using TT this year.  

I am going through form by form now and... What is PIN, signature PIN?? I don't have a pin. According to IRS, do I need to enter last year's AGI..is it correct?

Also, Do I have to enter Driver's license numbers too?

Yes, you will need to enter your last year's AGI to e-file.

The Signature PIN is called the Self Select Pin.  It's five digits that you make up yourself.  It doesn't have to be the same as last year.  It's part of the electronic signature process.

The IRS does not require you to enter a drivers license, but its recommended to help fight identity theft.  You should be able to just continue through that screen without entering anything or select no license.

There is another PIN called an IP Pin.  This pin is entered in the Other Tax Situations section of TurboTax.  But, you would only enter it if you have been assigned one by the IRS (it's for victims of ID theft).

choose a five digit PIN and keep it safe for next year.
It will come in handy if you are hit with AGI mismatch problem, which seems to happen a lot with TurboTax.
