Hello,
I agree, Turbo tax lacks adequate documentation explaining the difference between the IRS IP PIN number vs. Turbo tax PIN number.
This is an excerpt from the IRS web page:
An identity protection PIN(IP PIN) is a six-digit number that prevents someone else from filing a tax return using your Social Security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). The IP PIN is known only to you and the IRS. It helps us verify your identity when you file your electronic or paper tax return. Even though you may not have a filing requirement, an IP PIN still protects your account.
