I am ready to efile but i have a designated IP PIN Where on the tax return do i enter this pin number
You didn't say if you are using Online TurboTax or desktop software. This answer is mostly for Online TurboTax. If you're using desktop software and need dedicated steps for the desktop product, report back.
Here are 3 ways to get to the right place to enter the IP PIN in Online TurboTax. You only need to use one method. You can choose which method works for you the best.
- Once you've logged in and opened the interview back up, click in the top right on SEARCH.
- Enter the term IP PIN without quotes. When entering, ignore the dropdown menu, and instead click the small magnifying glass on that same line.
- Then click on Jump to IP PIN.
Or here's a second way:
- With your return open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then choose TOOLS.
- In the Tools window choose TOPIC SEARCH.
- Enter the term IP PIN without quotes.
- In the selection list highlight IP PIN and click GO.
Or here's a third navigation method:
- With your return open, in the left menu column, click Federal.
- Then at the top of the screen choose Other Tax Situations
- If this is your first time in that section, answer the preliminary questions, and it may ask you if you have an IP PIN. If so, indicate "yes", and keep following the screens as it guides you to enter it.
- If it doesn't, such as if you've previously been in that section, click on "See all uncommon tax situations" to see all the topics in that section.
- In the "Uncommon tax situations" list, scroll down to Other Return Info, and expand to see the subtopics, one of which is Identity Protection PIN.
