The IP PIN is a 6-digit Identity Protection PIN provided by the IRS to certain victims of ID theft.

Here are 3 ways to get to the right place to enter the 6-digit IP PIN in Online TurboTax. You only need to use one method. You can choose which method works for you the best. If you're using desktop software (CD/download), try method 1 or alternatively 3 (although the steps for method 3 are slightly different in desktop software).

With your return open, click in the top right corner on SEARCH.
Enter the term IP PIN without quotes, ignore the dropdown menu, and instead click the magnifying glass on that same line.
Then click on Jump to IP PIN.

Or here's a second way:

With your return open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then choose TOOLS.
In the Tools window choose TOPIC SEARCH.
Enter the term IP PIN without quotes.
In the selection list highlight IP PIN and click GO.

Or here's a third navigation method:

With your return open, in the left menu column click the Federal tab .
Then at the top of the screen choose Other Tax Situations
After that, if necessary, click on "See all uncommon tax situations" to see all the topics in that section.
In the "Uncommon tax situations" list, scroll down to Other Return Info, and expand to see the subtopics, one of which is Identity Protection PIN.

Thank you very much. Through trial and error, I deduced that the Turbo Tax PIN needed to be use when actually e-filing.
