You will need to call the number below.  This is a number only for IP Pin requests.  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 if you can't verify your identity, 
  • 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.

Then you only have two options -

1.  Get the information requested by the IRS to verify your identity

2.  Print and mail the tax return

See this TurboTax support FAQ for printing a tax return for mailing - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/printing/help/how-do-i-print-and-mail-my-return-in-turbotax-online...

It is not allowing me to verify my pin thru the online process. Also if I mail my return In who will get it irs is not in office so who will get my mailed in returns

First you need to find out how much you made if you didn't make certain amount by law you're not required to file(meaning u don't have to file it. If this is the case then go too turbo tax stimulus edition and file there i would also still consider mailing your tax return tho this may take a while,but its added security to your stimulus. Hope this helps if not we're all screwed

Still doesn't work, I got denied for my stimulus because I didn't have my IP Pin. It does not make any sense that the IRS is closing their calls which clearly the people need thier assistance on. Ridiculous to rely on an online self service which is clearly outdated.

 

In short we are doomed.
