    Don't post your pin or any personal info here.  This is a public user forum and everyone can see what you post.  Do you need to know where to enter a  6 digit IP Pin?

    You posted your IP PIN in a public Internet forum.  You can edit it out.  To do that click the tiny blue 3-dot icon just to the right of your question title and then choose Edit.

     

    What do you need help with in regard to a IP PIN?   

    • Do you need to know where in the TurboTax interview it's entered?    
    • Or did you efile and got a rejection notice that refers to an IP PIN?   If you got a rejection error code/message, please post the rejection error code or message.

     

    If you need to know where to enter your 6-digit IP PIN,  here's a shortcut if you are using Online TurboTax:

    • With your return open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then choose TOOLS.
    • In the Tools window choose the blue button TOPIC SEARCH.
    • On the topic search line enter the term IP PIN without quotes.
    • In the selection list highlight IP PIN and either double-click it or click GO.

    Or you can do it this way (in both Online and desktop TurboTax)

    • Federal Taxes tab (it's the PERSONAL tab in desktop Home and Business)
    • Subtab Other Tax Situations.
    • Then scroll down to Other Return Info.
    • Then choose Identity Protection PIN and then Start or Revisit/Update.
