It can be any 5 numbers except "00000".
Unknown Prior Year's Adjusted Gross Income:
If you do not know your prior year's AGI enter a 0 ( zero ) on the signature screen.
You will be required to mail in Form 8453-OL to the IRS after electronic filing your return.
Viewing / Printing / Electronic Filing Your Return
After completing the Signature screen, your tax return will be ready for Viewing and Printing. Before electronically filing your return, you need to review your tax return for accuracy.
If you do not want to electronically file your return, you will need to print two copies of your return. One copy of the return needs to be mailed to the IRS and the other copy should be kept for your personal records. The IRS requires you to keep tax information on hand for 3 years after the original due date of the return.
If you choose to electronically file your return, after reviewing your return you will be prompted to agree to disclosure consent. This consent requires you to agree the information you have entered on your tax return is true and that you are consenting to your return being electronically filed to the IRS.
You must agree to the disclosure before your return will be electronically filed.
After agreeing to the disclosure, you will be prompted to electronically file your return. Click the E-File button to file your return. Your return will then be sent to the IRS for acceptance.
Acknowledgments
Approximately 24-48 hours after electronically filing your return, you will receive an "acknowledgment" from the IRS via email. If your return was accepted, you do not need to do anything if you signed your tax return with a PIN. If you did not sign your tax return with a PIN, you will need to mail the 8453-OL to the IRS.
If the IRS did not accept your return, you will be required to modify your return and resubmit it to the IRS. Your acknowledgment email will indicate the reason your return was rejected by the IRS. The email you received will help you correctly modify your tax return.
