IND-995 How do I specify my dependent's PIN in Turbotax online?

[SabrinaD2]

If a dependent or qualifying person listed on your return has ever received an IP PIN, a CP01A notice, or opted into the IRS's IP PIN pilot program, that person's special 6-digit IP PIN needs to be on the return to validate their identity for e-filing.

Find your dependent or qualifying person's 6-digit IP PIN

• Look at the CP01A letter they received in December or January for their 2024 taxes. IP PINs from prior tax years won't work.
• If they lost or never got a CP01A letter, retrieve their IP PIN online on the IRS Retrieve your Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) page.
• If unable to retrieve their IP PIN online, you can have it reissued (allow up to 21 days).

After you find the PIN - to enter and specify the PIN for your dependent, in TurboTax Online, follow...

1. Sign in to TurboTax if you haven't already signed in.
   • If you're a mobile user, you'll need to sign in using your browser instead of the TurboTax app.
2. Select any Fix buttons you see before proceeding to the next step.
3. At the Welcome back to TurboTax message, select Fix It Now.
4. If you cannot find the fix button and are logged in to TurboTax try to click this link.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter your dependent or qualifying person's 2024 IP PIN and re-file your return.

Just FYI

I was able to enter my dependent's PIN by navigating to the "Federal Taxes" -> "Other Tax Situations" screen.

Pressing the "Fixit Now" buttons did not provide any help.

Follow these instructions to enter your Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN) or to remove an IP PIN that you accidentally entered.

1. Open or continue your return.
2. Navigate to the IP PIN section:
   • TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to IP PIN.
   • TurboTax Desktop: Search for IP pin (don't forget the space) and select the Jump to link.
3. On the Identity Protection PIN screen, answer Yes. Select Add and enter your IP PIN in the space provided.
   • If you need to remove the IP PIN, select the trash icon.
4. Select Continue, then select Done.

These instructions from @BrittanyS  above only help if you are entering tax payer and spouse IP PIN, not dependent. 

As noted above, you need to go to "Federal Taxes" and "Other Tax Situations," and under "Other Return Info" start "Identity Protection Pin"
