There is no need to amend your return to enter the IP PIN. Chances are the return will be rejected if the IRS thinks an IP PIN is necessary and you didn't enter it.
If your return is rejected, you will be able to enter the IP PIN and resubmit the return.
If your return is accepted, you don't have to do anything else.
