    What is your question about an IP PIN?    With no question asked, all we can do is speak in general about an IP PIN.

     

    An IP PIN (Identity Protection PIN) is a 6-digit PIN provided by the IRS to certain victims of ID theft, or to others who have opted-in to the IP PIN program.    If you are in the first group (ID theft victim previously investigated by the IRS), you should have received in postal mail a CP01A notice in late December/early January with your IP PIN to use this year.   If you are in the latter group (voluntarily opted-in), then you have to retrieve the IP PIN from the IRS website each year.

     

    If you lost or need to retrieve your IP PIN for this year, you can use the IP PIN Retrieval Tool at the IRS website.

    Or do you need to know where in the TurboTax interview to enter an IP PIN?
