Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If the IRS has accepted your identity theft affidavit and issued an IP-PIN, you are in the program for life, you can't opt out. Every year, you will receive a new IP-PIN from the IRS and must include it on your tax return.
In Turbotax, go to the tab for "Other tax situations" and one of the choices is for IP-PIN, that the easiest place to enter it. It can also be entered during the last File step but it is easy to miss.
If the IRS is only at the stage of "processing" or "reviewing" your affidavit, I don't know if you can opt out. You will need to call the IRS and get a human on the phone, that's not easy as only about 20% of phone calls actually get answered. You might be able to go to an IRS service center near you to speak to a human, they are appointment only right now, https://www.irs.gov/help/contact-your-local-irs-office
