PIN problems

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.

Go to the "Federal Taxes" heading.

Go to the "Other Tax Situations" heading.

Scroll down to "Other Return Info."

You'll see "Identity Protection PIN."

That's it.

If you can find a better way to hide this, alert TurboTax and the IRS. They gotta make a living, you know!

I'm using turbo tax with Chrome, and I don't see the link.  Where do I start from on the page?

Open your Individual Tax Return.

The "Federal Taxes" heading should be apparent at the top of the page. Then you go to "Other Tax Situations," third from the left among the headings, then "Other Return Info," then "Identity Protection PIN."

That's it!

Of course you have to have an Identity Protection PIN. I found mine by logging onto the IRS and scrolling down my Profile page.

I was using the pin from 2024.  Went to IRS site and looked up my new pin.  Entered new pin, and resubmitted forms, and now waiting.
