Efile came back rejected because of needing pin for identity theft. I have never claimed or gone through anything like that...why would I need a pin?

When would one get a Cp01 notice?

If you have a 6 digit PIN issued to you by the IRS you need to enter it in order to e-file.  Go to Federal>Other Tax Situations>Other Return Info>Identity Protection PIN and enter the six-digit PIN.
