Can TurboTax electronically file my taxes without my prior year PIN? Or am I stuck just filing a paper return?

Yes,  you use the 2018 AGI.

 

See this TurboTax FAQ on how to find your AGI

You can get free 2018 tax transcript from the IRS

https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

If you filed late last year there is a good chance that the 2018 AGI never was entered into the e-file database. Try using 0 (zero) for the AGI.

If you filed an amended return use the AGI on the first filed tax return.

If it continues to reject then the AGI in the IRS database might be in error. Mail filing is the only option.
