Tax Newbie Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Just curious - this is my first time using the PIN selection for form 8879 - I understand the practioner pin, but am not quite sure of how the self-select pin process works. How do the clients enter their PIN onto this form - is it as simple as giving the pin to the tax practioner and we enter it in? Seems simple but wanted to make sure. Please advise.

TaxmannEA Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 It is that simple. Either the TP can enter the PIN or you can enter the pin for them. I always do it myself, as I don't want others entering data on the forms. If the TP enters the PIN you need to show their 2006 AGI. When entered by the ERO, that's not neccessary. The PIN can be any 5-digit number and can be the same for both spouses if filing MFJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
