Yes, there are two separate PIN numbers that may be on your tax return. If your PIN has six digits, it's an IP PIN. Here's where to enter it:

 

 

  1. Sign in to TurboTax Online.
  2. Select Other Tax Situations. 
  3. Select Start or Update to the right of Identity Protection PIN.
  4. Answer the first question Yes.
  5. Select  Add to the right of your name.
  6. Enter the number on the next screen.
  7. Continue your tax return.
