Follow the steps here to enter your IP PIN:

  • Open up your return, and go to Federal (or if you have TurboTax CD/Download, go to Personal).  Select "Other Tax Situations", and Continue to the question shown below. The under 'Other Return Info' select 'Identity Protection PIN'  You can enter your PIN number there. 

 

Once you’ve reported the incident of identity theft, the IRS will provide you with an Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) to keep your tax information safe the next time you file. This unique 6-digit PIN will help the IRS verify your identity to make sure that your return is truly yours.
