Only the IRS issues IP pins (you can skip this in TurboTax if it does not apply to you).  Are you sure you are needing an IP pin and not a self-select pin?   Only you know your self-select pin and it is created each year by the taxpayer when filing a tax return.  

 

Most taxpayers don't need an IP PIN — the IRS only issues them in select cases.   If you know you need an IP PIN to file your taxes and you lost your CP01A letter (or never received it), you can:

 

  • Retrieve your IP PIN online at the IRS's Get an IP PIN site; or
  • Call the IRS at 1-800-908-4490 to have your IP PIN mailed to you (this can take up to 21 days)  - it is automated so this still works during the COVID shutdowns. 

We're unable to issue IP PINs and you won't find them on your tax paperwork. You can only get IP PINs from the IRS.
