I was never issued an IP pin. Can I do my taxes without it?

Not everyone has an IP PIN, which is a 6-digit PIN assigned by the IRS to certain victims of ID theft, OR to people who voluntarily sign up for the IP PIN program for extra security.    Have you ever been assigned one by the IRS, or have you ever voluntarily requested to be in the IP PIN program?    If you have never been assigned an IP PIN by one of those methods, then the IRS won't be expecting one.

Why are you asking about an IP PIN?    What is the context that prompted you to ask this question?

The IP Pin will change each and every year. This is an Identity Protection Pin.  

You can get an Identity Protection pin here, or if you lost your IP PIN, you can go here to Retrieve IP PIN. 

Here are two ways to navigate to the section to enter the 6 digit IP PIN: 

1. Log in and open your return ("Take me to my return") 
2. Once the return is open, then go to the Federal Taxes tab. 
3. Subtab Other Tax Situations 
4. Scroll down to Other Return Info. 
5. Choose Identity Protection PIN and Start (or Revisit.) 
6. Next screen asks:  "Did you or any of your dependents get an IP PIN from the IRS for this year's taxes?" 

Or another way: 

1. Open your return if not already open.  ("Take me to my return.") 
2. Once the return is open, click at the top on MY ACCOUNT, then choose TOOLS. 
3. In the Tools window choose TOPIC SEARCH. 
4. Enter IP PIN without quotes. 
5. In the selection list highlight IP PIN and click GO. 
6. Next screen asks:  "Did you or any of your dependents get an IP PIN from the IRS for this year's taxes?"
