I need my IP pin from the IRS?

SharonD007

If the IRS issued an IP PIN, which is a 6-digit number that the IRS provides to taxpayers to validate their identity, it must be used to avoid rejection.

Refer to the following TurboTax Help articles What's an IP PIN? Do I need one? and How do I get my 6-digit IP PIN? for additional information.

If you have a 6 digit PIN issued to you by the IRS you need to enter it in order to e-file. Go to Federal>Other Tax Situations>Other Return Info>Identity Protection PIN and enter the six-digit PIN.
