I SUBMITTED MY TAX RETURNS VIA E-FILE.. MUST I HAVE AN IDENTITY PROTECTION PIN FOR MY TAX RETURNS TO BE ACCEPTED?.. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE this IP PIN

The person on your tax return that needs the 6-digit PIN should have received a CP01A letter from the IRS with the PIN.  If no one on your tax return received a letter, go on the IRS website Retrieve Your Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) for instructions for a replacement.

Review the TurboTax Help article E-file reject IND-996: The Dependent/Qualifying Person Identity Protection Personal Identification N... for more information on this reject code.

Not everyone gets an IP PIN so if you don't have one you don't have to enter a PIN that does not exist.
