You have to get that from the IRS.

How do I get my 6-digit IP PIN?

I need the pin number for my card

I need a pin please I need my money 

@Kin39  If you need an IP PIN (

Identity Protection PIN), you must get that from the IRS.  See my post above on how to get your IP PIN.

If you don't need an IP PIN but instead need your 2018 AGI to e-file your 2019 return, you would get that from your 2018 tax return.

How do I find last year’s AGI?

IRS gave me 6 digit IP PIN number for e-file.

Your Turbotax is asking only 5 digits and I can't enter my 6 digits.

Can you help??

Those are 2 different numbers @ychang227.   The 6 digit number is an Identity Protection Pin and it must be entered in the IP PIN field, see below.   The 5 digit number is a number you chose last year when e-filing.  It (or your 2018) is needed to e-file.   This link explains the difference. 

To add your IP Pin (identity protection) - - 

1. Open your return if you don't already have it open.
2. Inside TurboTax, search for IP PIN (don't forget the space) and then select the Jump to link in the search results.
3. On the Identity Protection PIN screen, answer Yes and enter your IP PIN in the space provided.
   • If you need to remove the IP PIN, answer No instead.
4. Select Continue.

I filed my E-file and they rejected me cause I don't have my IP PIN and I'm trying to get it cause I am subject to identity theft

Your only choice right now is to mail in the return and you do not need to use the IP PIN when mailing. 

If you want to use  an IP PIN to file your taxes and you lost your CP01A letter (or never received it), you can:

• Retrieve your IP PIN online at the IRS's Get an IP PIN site; or
• Call the IRS at 1-800-908-4490 to have your IP PIN mailed to you (this can take up to 21 days)

At this point, it is a moot point because IP-Pin's only apply to e-filed tax returns and after Oct 15,2020 e-file ended for do-it-yourself 2019 software that can only be printed and mailed now.  IPPins are not used on mailed tax returns.

 If you received an IP PIN but misplaced it, call 800-908-4490.

There is a place on the 1040 for the IP PIN and if you have one it should be entered ... failing to enter it will/can delay the processing of the return ...  mailed in returns are taking 4 months or more to process right now.

Can turbotax recover my ip pin for me 

If you are looking for your IP PIN, I am attaching a TurboTax instruction link for your reference:

IP PIN

An Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) is a 6-digit number that the IRS gives taxpayers who were victims of tax-related identity theft.  The IP PIN validates a Social Security number's true owner and prevents future tax fraud. Most taxpayers don't need one.  If taxpayer is a confirmed victim of identity theft and the IRS has resolved their tax account issues, IRS will mail them a CP01A Notice with their IP PIN each year.  For more information, click here: What is IP PIN

No.  An IPPIN would be of no value if a 3rd party could obtain it. 

Turbo Tax requires  a 5-digit number, one I can make up.  IRS gives a 6-digit number. So my self created 5-digit number keeps being rejected by the IRS.  What gives? I don't think I'll use Turbo Tax anymore.  Instead I' go back the old school paper and pencil form.

The 5 digit e-file pin and the 2019 AGI is used to verify you with the IRS for an e-signature on your 2020 tax return.

If you were a victim of identity theft and reported that to the IRS, the IRS will have sent you a 6 digit IP PIN to be entered on your tax return.  If you print and mail the tax return you have to manually entered the 6 digit IP on the tax return in the Signature block area on page 2 of the Form 1040.  The 5 digit self-selected PIN is not used on a mailed tax return.

If you e-file the tax return then you need to enter the 6 digit IP PIN you received from the IRS before filing the tax return.

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

An Identity Protection PIN would have been sent to you by the IRS after you had reported an identity theft to the IRS.

Go to this IRS website to retrieve your IP PIN - https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/retrieve-your-ip-pin
