The IRS would only have sent you a 6 digit Identity Protection PIN if you reported an identity theft to the IRS.  If you did report a theft then you have to enter the IP PIN that the IRS sent to you on your tax return.

If you did not receive the IP PIN then go to this IRS website to retrieve the PIN - https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/retrieve-your-ip-pin
