I assume you have your new 6-digit IP PIN to be used this year in calendar year 2025 as you prepare your 2024 return. If using Online TurboTax 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.
- Once you've opened the interview back up, click in the top right corner on the search icon (magnifying glass).
- Enter the term IP PIN without quotes. When entering, ignore the dropdown menu, and instead click the small magnifying glass on that same line.
- Then click on Jump to IP PIN.
Or here's a second way:
- With your return open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then choose subtab 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.
Or here's a third navigation method:
- With your return open, in the left menu column, click Federal.
- Then choose subtab Other Tax Situations.
- If you've been in that section before, you may see the IP PIN section listed, and you can EDIT. If this is your first time in that section, answer the preliminary questions, and it may ask you if you have an IP PIN. If so, indicate "yes", and keep following the screens as it guides you to enter it.
- If it doesn't, 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.
