You did not enter a valid Identity Protection Personal Identification Number - IP PIN - on your e-filed return.

 

If you reported an identity theft to the IRS then you would have received a 6 digit Identity Protection PIN from the IRS.

If you do not have the IP PIN go to this IRS website to retrieve your PIN - https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/retrieve-your-ip-pin

 

To enter a 6 digit IP PIN

  • Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
  • Click on Other Tax Situations
  • Scroll down to Other Return Info
  • On Identity Protection PIN, click the start button

Or enter ip pin in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to ip pin
