I need to change my Il pin number

You can update the IP PIN information in TurboTax by following the steps below

  • Federal tab  
  • Other Tax Situations
  • Scroll down to Other Return Info.
  • Choose Yes, I did under the Identity Protection PIN question and Start (or Revisit.)
  • The next screen asks:  "Did you or any of your dependents get an IP PIN from the IRS for this year's taxes?" 
  • Select Yes and then add your required information

You can retrieve or get an IP PIN from the IRS at the link below:

I need to change my Il pin number

It depends upon which PIN you are referring to.

 

The IRS discontinued the use of the e-filing PIN.  You will need to use your 2018 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) instead.  See the following links for more information.

 

E-filing PIN

 

If you have an 6 digit PIN from the IRS, this is used to verify your identity if you have been a victim identity theft in the past.

 

5 digit PIN vs. IP PIN

 

If you need to obtain your 6-digit PIN from the IRS, you will need to contact them.
