You "sign" your return by enter a 5-digit PIN number during the filing process.


To enter an Identify Protection PIN for you, your spouse, or dependent please follow these steps:

  1. Click on Federal  > Other Tax Situations
  2. In the Other Return Info section, click on the Start/Revisit box next to Identity Protection PIN[See Screenshot #1, below.]
  3. On the next screen, mark the button  Yes, at least one of us got an IP PIN and click Continue. [Screenshot #2]
  4. On the next screen, Tell us your IP PIN, enter the IP PIN for you, your spouse, or dependent.  Enter an IP PIN only for the people who have them. [Screenshot #3]
  5. Click Continue and proceed with re-filing the return.
