That's very confusing. An IP PIN is a special 6-digit Identity Protection PIN provided by the IRS to certain victims of identity theft, or to those who electively opt-in to the IP PIN program. If someone is required to have an IP PIN (or opt-in), they cannot successfully efile without it. If someone tries to efile without it, the return will be rejected. Yet you say you not only efiled your returns, but that the efiled returns were accepted and that you have received your refunds. So I'm not sure what the problem is that prompted you to ask this question.
Are you required by the IRS to use a 6-digit IP PIN this year, and did you receive it? When did you get it? Did you not enter it in the return interview when you prepared your Federal return?
If you are required to file with an IP PIN and didn't include it in your efile, then the efile of both your Federal and state returns should have rejected. The Federal return would have rejected without the IP PIN, and a Federal rejection makes the efiled state return automatically reject as well. So your situation in regards to an IP PIN is not clear at all.
Since your efiled returns were accepted and you have received the refunds, why are you now at this point in time asking about an IP PIN?
