Accidentally selected Audit Defense

ajayka — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 07:46:47 GMT

I just e-filed my Federal and State returns (TurboTax desktop). Unfortunately they got rejected as I forgot to let TurboTax know I have a IP PIN. When I relaunched TurboTax to fix this error, I must have accidentally selected TurboTax Audit defense because it know tells me "Thank you for Choosing Audit Defense". I can't get rid of this option as I don't need this protection.

[[Also by the way the second time around my returns again got rejected as TurboTax did not ask me for my IP PIN; I assumed since it knew what my error was it would ask me during the submission flow. After some web search I found out one has to click on Personal -> Other Tax Situations -> Identity Protection PIN to enter the IP PIN)
