Identity Protection PIN?

[juliesmash16]

I've gotten to the part where it is asking me if I have been assigned an identity protection pin and I selected no (because I have not to the best of my knowledge) but then it keeps telling me I need to review that section. I looked up online why this could be happening and it said that this was because I had been given one. But I haven't??? If I did, I have no idea why or what it is? Please help!

If your tax return is rejected for a missing Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) despite selecting "No," the IRS system likely assigned you one due to a previous opt-in or potential identity theft, even if you don't recall it. You must retrieve the 6-digit PIN from your IRS Online Account or check for a CP01A notice mailed by the IRS to file electronically.  If you cannot log in, use the IRS Get an IP PIN tool to verify your identity and retrieve it.
