It's not clear what you need. A taxpayer Identification Number is your Social Security Number or ITIN if you have no SSN. If you have been affected by tax fraud, you need an Identity Protection Pin.

 

What's an Identity Protection PIN? The IP PIN is a six-digit number assigned to eligible taxpayers to help prevent the misuse of their Social Security number on fraudulent federal income tax returns. An IP PIN helps the IRS verify a taxpayer's identity and accept their electronic or paper tax return.

 

You must get the IP Pin from the IRS. TurboTax can't get it for you.

 

So exactly what is it that you need?
