https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/identity-protection-pin/01/3878411#M1442271 <P>I've gotten to the part where it is asking me if I have been assigned an identity protection pin and I selected no (because I have not to the best of my knowledge) but then it keeps telling me I need to review that section. I looked up online why this could be happening and it said that this was because I had been given one. But I haven't??? If I did, I have no idea why or what it is? Please help!</P> Wed, 08 Apr 2026 23:51:16 GMT juliesmash16 2026-04-08T23:51:16Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/identity-protection-pin/01/3878411#M1442271 <P>I've gotten to the part where it is asking me if I have been assigned an identity protection pin and I selected no (because I have not to the best of my knowledge) but then it keeps telling me I need to review that section.
