Will an e-filed return get rejected or held for a wrong 5 digit PIN #....

So what happens after I e- file & put wrong 5 digit PIN

It shouldn't because the PIN number ia for the purpose of signing your electronic return, you can reuse your Self-Select PIN from last year or create a new one to use, it doesn’t matter which option you choose.

You create your own Self-Select PIN. You do not register the PIN with the IRS before filing or need to contact the IRS to get it. The five-digit PIN can be any five digits except all zeros.

The PIN number was a random number that you chose last year and is not kept in our system. Only you have access to that number.
