@sooners22- asked: "Where do I find my IP PIN?"
Well....that can be interpreted a couple of ways. Are you required to use a 6-digit IP PIN, and if so, are you asking how to retrieve this year's 6-digit IP PIN? Or are you asking where in the TurboTax interview to enter the IP PIN that you have?
An IP PIN is a 6-digit Identity Protection PIN provided to certain victims of ID theft, or electively if someone opts-in to the IP PIN program. Some people receive an IRS letter with their new IP PIN around January of each year. Others, such as those who opt-in, do not get a letter each year, but have to retrieve their IP PIN each year from the IRS website. If you need to retrieve yours, if you have an IRS online account, the IP PIN may be displayed inside your IRS account (I believe in the Profile section.) Otherwise, see this:
IRS: Retrieve your IP PIN

Once you have your IP PIN, here's where to enter it in Online TurboTax:
- Log in and open your return interview back up.
- Once the return is open, click in the top right on the search icon (magnifying glass).
- In the search line 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 to get there:
- 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.
