I’ve filed for Stimulus but they say I need Ip Pin # I’ve been in jail since 2009 I don’t have one

Most taxpayers don't need an IP PIN — the IRS only issues them in select cases.

If you know you need an IP PIN to file your taxes and you lost your CP01A letter (or never received it), you can:

• Retrieve your IP PIN online at the IRS's Get an IP PIN site; or
• Call the IRS at 1-800-908-4490 to have your IP PIN mailed to you (this can take up to 21 days)

We're unable to issue IP PINs and you won't find them on your tax paperwork. You can only get IP PINs from the IRS.

Try 2 ways , one way will be to open the last year return and look into the froms information page 4 and you will find last year 5 digits personal pin there , if that’s not possible then go to the irs website and sign in to get the identity protection pin 6 digits ( the process is very fast you do it yourself and they assign you a 6 digits pin immediately) then after you finish your taxes you will have to enter manually in the form on the right hand side up you can see forms 

go to info Wks and look for the line to write your 6 digits identity protection pin .

Notes : On the 5 digits pin used the previous one if you found it if not use a different they will go by the new 6 digits pin you obtain online.

good luck , I got it done that way .

Be careful not to confuse the two types of PIN numbers in your return:

• IRS Identity Protection (IP) PIN is a 6-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. When you have an IP PIN, it prevents someone else from filing a tax return with your SSN. Use the IRS online tool Get an IP PIN or visit Retrieve Your IP PIN for more information
• The e-file PIN, is a 5-digit number that you choose.  It takes the place of your signature on the e-filed return.  Enter any 5 numbers.

[JotikaT2]

You need to contact the IRS for assistance with this as they are the only agency that issues IP PIN's.

See the following link as there is a website you can use to obtain your IP PIN.

@G81  Check all the correspondence you may have received from the IRS in the past 6 months.  One of the letters will be your notification of your IP PIN for this year.  TurboTax does not issue this number.  If you cannot find the number, please see the post directly above yours, in which @JotikaT2 provides the link where you can verify your IP PIN for 2020.

If you are talking about the 5-digit self-selected PIN, that is something different.  That would be on your Form 8879 from last year, 2019.  You would be able to find that if you have access to your 2019 return.
