To enter your dependent's IP Pin:

  1. Open your return in TurboTax, if you don't already have it open.
  2. In the search box, search for IP PIN or ip pin (2 words) in the search box and then click the "Jump to" link in the search results.
  3. TurboTax will take you to the Identity Protection PIN screen. Answering Yes will open a field where you can enter your 6-digit IP PIN.

Alternate Instructions:

  1. Click the Federal Taxes tab
  2. Then click the Other Tax Situations tab
  3. Scroll down to the Other Return Info section
  4. Click Start next to Identity Protection PIN
  5. Select Yes to the question Did you or any of your dependents get an IP PIN from the IRS for this year's taxes? and then click Continue.
  6. You will enter your dependent's PIN on the next screen. (screenshot below)

Filed electronically and tax return rejected due to no IP PIN entered for dependent. 

 

When I follow the instructions to go to the place to enter the number, there is a place for my wife and I but no location to enter the number for my dependent stepson (disabled).


Is there a way to add this number or am I going to have to file a paper return rather than electronically filing.

 

Thank you
