1. The IRS pin is not required, it is recommended. The IRS identity protection pin must be applied for and received prior to doing your tax return. If you have one, it is entered in the filing section.
2. Only those who have been issued a PIN should file their pin number. Neither, one, or both may have a pin that needs to be entered.
If you want to apply for one for next year, see Get An Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN)
