I have spoken with your agents at least twice. They insist EVERYONE MUST have an ip pin.
Someone is/was confused.
Everyone who e-files needs a 5 digit e-filing PIN. If it is your first time e-filing you can pick any 5 digit number. If you have e-filed before, you need to use the same self-selected PIN as last year, or your adjusted gross income from last year. If you e-filed with turbotax and if you log in using the same account, your e-filing PIN or AGI should transfer automatically. If you need your AGI from last year, check a copy of last year's return or get a transcript from the IRS. If you filed very late last year, your AGI may not be in the system, try zero. Due to identity theft problems at the IRS itself, the "instantly get a new e-file PIN" was discontinued. You need your transcript from last year if you don't know your PIN. https://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript
I will inform a TurboTax Moderator concerning the experience you had with support.
If you did not have an ID theft issue and did not receive an IP PIN in the mail from the IRS, then you do Not have to file your tax return using an IP PIN. Is your tax return being rejected by the IRS for not having a 6 digit IP PIN?
To e-file a tax return you have to enter either your 2015 AGI or the self-selected 5 digit PIN you used for e-filing the 2015 tax return.

there are NO Agents in the IRS Office to Provide me with a Ip Pin so how can i file my tax?
2. I have a Direct Deposit Account I just sent to IRS Today , can this be used to pay my Stimulus Check 2020?
If you have an IP-PIN and have lost or not received it, you can attempt to recover it from the IRS. Otherwise, you will need to mail in your return.
You can find the IRS IP-PIN recovery site here.
If you have filed a tax return for 2018 or 2019 with direct deposit information, that will be used to send your stimulus payment.
@Vance330
No one replies at the IRS Offices (Federal) and states that there will be NO live Operators and due to this i cant mail or file electronic without a 6 Numbered IP PIN. only automated response while Covid19 is at large.
I just had my return rejected for not using this PIN also. Never received it Dec and when I tried their tool to recover it I couldn’t. I called the number Intuit provided yet no one is working at the IRS. I requested it via the mail on April 2 and STILL have not received it. They answer every frigge on their site except this issue which they don’t even address.
What do you suggest TurboTax?
TurboTax has no influence over the IRS. If an IP PIN is required to e-file then it is not possible to e-file without it.
The only answer is wait, paper file (but paper returns are not currently being processed) or pay a tax professional to file with professional software since they must verify your ID in person and you must sign a e-file release, so they do not need the IPPIN to file.
My return was rejected 3 times, and only rejection #3 explained that IRS IP PIN was missing - NOT AGI, NOT e-file 5-digit PIN. Was able to get IP PIN 6-digit number from IRS website and add this PIN under 'Other Return Information/IP PIN'.
Finally, return was accepted!
