What is the Prior Year PIN?
The Prior Year PIN is the five digit electronic signature used to sign your Tax Year 2011 tax return. You either created a PIN signature or your ERO assigned or generated a PIN signature if you used a tax professional to e-file your 2011 tax return. You can use the prior year PIN in lieu of the prior year AGI to verify your identity when using electronic signature.
If you do not remember your prior year PIN, you can just leave this field blank and fill in one of the other two.
