Question

I get a PIN number from the IRS each year for identity protection. I did not include it anywhere on my information. Where should I have included it?

Please see the TurboTax Help article “How do I add or remove my 6-digit IP PIN?” for guidance in entering your PIN number.

If you filed your taxes, you will need to wait for the IRS to reject your return. Then you can go in and add the IP-PIN to fix it. 

 

To enter an IRS Identity Protection PIN in a non-filed tax return:

 

  • You should be signed in and working in TurboTax
  • Click on Other Tax Situations in the left-hand black menu
  • Click on Show More next to Other Return Information
  • Click on Start or Revisit next to Identity Protection PIN
