Sign your tax return electronically by using a Personal
Identification Number (PIN). A PIN is any five numbers you select (except
all zeros) to use as your electronic signature. If you choose the
Self-Select PIN method you are required to create a PIN to sign your income
tax return. The SELF-Select PIN method can only be used by taxpayers who
file electronically using tax preparation software or through a tax
professional who is an Authorized IRS e-file Provider. To use the
Self-Select PIN method you will need to provide the original Adjusted Gross
Income (AGI) from your prior year tax return and your correct date of birth
to authenticate your identity. |
