The IP PIN (Identity Protection PIN) is a 6-digit PIN provided by the
IRS to certain victims of ID theft.
As long as you entered the IP PINs in the correct interview section, they should transmit with your efiled return.
The IP PINs are not printed on a paper copy or PDF for privacy/security purposes.
If filing by mail, you will have to write the IP PINs in the designated area of the signature section.

It is part of the interview process if you followed it faithfully and did not skip any sections.
