Where to enter Dependent PIN number

[Nativeamerican15]

Greetings and thank you. I am doing 1050 free version. I have to add my dependent’s personal PIN number. It was rejected because it is not on there. There is no line to put it on in this program. What to do?

Follow the steps below:

• Click the Federal Taxes tab. (In TurboTax Home & Business click the Personal tab.)
• Click "Other Tax Situations."
• Scroll down to the section "Other Return Info."
• Click the Start or Update button for "Identity Protection PIN."

There will be separate boxes to enter an IP PIN for you and your spouse, as well as any dependents on your return.

Great answer. Thank you. I am using the free version and it not showing a place to put the dependents number. Do you perhaps have another suggestion ?  Again, thank you.

By "personal PIN number", are you referring to a 6-digit IP PIN (Identity Protection PIN) provided to the IRS for victims of ID theft?

If so, I assume you know how to open your rejected return back up to correct it.  If not, then you can open it up by clicking on "Add a State."  (that doesn't really add one; but opens the return interview back up.

In order to enter a dependent's IP PIN, you would first need to have entered all the dependent's basic info in the My Info (Personal Info) section.   You may have already done that already.   If the dependent basic info has been entered, then you can go to the IP PIN section.

Here are 3 ways to get to the right place to enter the IP PIN.  You only need to use one method.   You can choose which method works for you the best.

• With your return open, click in the top right corner on SEARCH.
• Enter the term IP PIN without quotes, ignore the dropdown menu, and instead click the blue magnifying glass on that same line.
• Then click on Jump to IP PIN.
• Next screen asks "Did anyone in your family get an Identity Protection PIN from the IRS for this year's taxes?"
• When you say "yes", the next screen lists all people on your return.  Choose the correct one.

Or here's a second way:

• With your return open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then choose TOOLS.
• In the Tools window choose TOPIC SEARCH.
• Enter the term IP PIN without quotes.
• In the selection list highlight IP PIN and click GO.
• Next screen asks "Did anyone in your family get an Identity Protection PIN from the IRS for this year's taxes?"
• When you say "yes", the next screen lists all people on your return.  Choose the correct one.

Or here's a third navigation method:

• With your return open, in the left menu column, click Federal.
• Then at the top of the screen choose  Other Tax Situations
• After that, if necessary, click on "See all uncommon tax situations" to see all the topics in that section.
  
• In the "Uncommon tax situations" list, scroll down to Other Return Info, and expand to see the subtopics, one of which is Identity Protection PIN.
• Next screen asks "Did anyone in your family get an Identity Protection PIN from the IRS for this year's taxes?"
• When you say "yes", the next screen lists all people on your return.  Choose the correct one.
