Where do I enter the federal IP pin number?

I see state taxes tab but not federal taxes tab.... I am using TurboTax 2016 Home and Business. Where this Federal taxes tab is located????????????????

[MelissaZ]

It is found under the Personal tab in Home and Business

Turbo Tax Needs to Correct this processing problem immediately.  No excuse for this with the large number of individuals/companies having had this problem in the past

Why on earth wasn't that parenthetical (Personal using Home and Business) put in the original instructions??????  Takes < 30 seconds, saves users 15 minutes or more!

I just finished my husband's taxes and was waiting for a clear place to insert his Federal 6-digit IP PIN number, as his taxes were compromised last year by some crook. Why isn't this a question prior to finishing on-line taxes OR, preferably, at the beginning? Very disturbing that I learn I was to hunt and peck to find where it SHOULD have gone. In an era of identity theft, theft in general, I would think this be a top priority.

Totally agree!  You should NOT have to look for this and it should be on the same page as the other security info

IP PIN field has only room for five numbers

How do I get the 5 digit Pin for filing online?

The IRS has discontinued the use of the e-file pin. Please see the below link for additional information:

You will be asked to enter your 2018 AGI when you go through the "File" routine in TurboTax.

Here are 3 ways to get to the right place to enter the 6-digit IP PIN provided by the IRS to victims of ID theft.  You only need to use one method.   You can choose which method works for you the best.

• With your return open, click in the top right corner on SEARCH.
• Enter the term IP PIN without quotes, ignore the dropdown menu, and instead click the blue magnifying glass on that same line.
• Then click on Jump to IP PIN.

Or here's a second way:

• With your return open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then choose TOOLS.
• In the Tools window choose TOPIC SEARCH.
• Enter the term IP PIN without quotes.
• In the selection list highlight IP PIN and click GO.

Or here's a third navigation method:

• With your return open, in the left menu column, click Federal.
• Then at the top of the screen choose  Other Tax Situations
• After that, if necessary, click on "See all uncommon tax situations" to see all the topics in that section.
  
• In the "Uncommon tax situations" list, scroll down to Other Return Info, and expand to see the subtopics, one of which is Identity Protection PIN.
