What is a Tax Return Signature PIN?
A Tax Return Signature PIN (Personal Identification Number) is a Self-Selected PIN made up of any 5 numbers (except all zeros) to enter as your electronic signature. If you file a joint return, both taxpayer and spouse are required to select their own PIN. Essentially, the IRS requires a made up, 5-digit number to sign your return.
