The IP pin is only used on your federal return.

 

There is no reference to the IP pin on the California return.

What about the state of VA? It's under the section entitled "Additional Filing Info". However, where do you enter it within Turbo Tax?

As you go through the VA return,

  1. after income,
  2. after deductions and credits,
  3. after Donate to a Virginia Special Fund,
  4. continue,
  5. the next screen has Other Situations.
  6. Select Virginia Identity PIN.

According to this Virginia state webpage, you only need to use one PIN on a joint tax return, even if you and your spouse were both issued a PIN. Either PIN is acceptable.

 

If they issued you a PIN and you lost it or you didn't receive a new one in the mail, you can call their customer services at 804.367.8031
