Why wouldn't Turbo Tax ask for my IPP when I filed my return? I spent 2 days getting the pin and I wasn't asked for a 6 digit pin... it did ask for a 5 digit pin that carried over from last year.... What can I expect going forward? Have you not written the IPP into your software or did I miss it?

You missed it...

To enter, edit or delete a 6 digit IP PIN

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Other Tax Situations
Scroll down to Other Return Info
On Identity Protection PIN, click the start button

Or enter ip pin in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to ip pin

So you enter the PIN in a whole different category when you file? That is craziness.

How would I have known that? The rep at Turbo Tax needs a refresher course. She said all was fine until the return was rejected. Thank god for failsafes..

Thank you!
