How to use my IRS identity Protection PIN when e-filing through Turbo Tax?
The IP PIN is a 6-digit Identity Protection PIN provided by the IRS to certain victims of ID theft.
Here are 3 ways to get to the right place to enter the 6-digit IP PIN in Online TurboTax. You only need to use one method. You can choose which method works for you the best. If you're using desktop software (CD/download), try method 1 or alternatively 3 (although the steps for method 3 are slightly different in desktop software).
- With your return open, click in the top right corner on SEARCH.
- Enter the term IP PIN without quotes, ignore the dropdown menu, and instead click the 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 the Federal tab .
- Then at the top of the screen choose Other Tax Situations
- After that, if necessary, 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.
