It's hard to help someone without knowing exactly what product you are using. So first, please state exactly what product you are using (Online or desktop) and if desktop, what edition (Deluxe, Premier, Home and Business, etc). NOTE: Home and Business edition does not have a Federal tab--it has a Personal tab (more info below.)
If you are using desktop software, the navigation tabs are spread horizontally across the top. If you are using Online TurboTax, the navigation tabs are oriented vertically in the left-column menu.
Are you by any chance using the Home and Business edition of the desktop software? If so, it does not have a Federal tab. Instead it has a Personal tab. If that's the product you are using see this:
For the desktop software:
- Open your return and at the top if you are using Home and Business version choose the PERSONAL tab (in the other desktop editions it's called the Federal tab). Home and Business is the only product that has a Personal tab instead of the Federal tab.
- Then choose the subtab "Other Tax Situations."
- On the "Other Tax Situations" page scroll down to topic "Other Return Info."
- Then you will see subtopic "Identity Protection PIN."
If you are not using desktop software but using Online TurboTax (web browser version), report back for different instructions.
In any case, if you still can't find it, report back and tell us exactly what product you are using, and I'll make you some screenshots. Please state whether it's an Online or desktop product, and if desktop, what edition. There are also some screenshots higher up in this thread that might help you depending on what product you are using. Did you look at those?
