Where do you add your IP PIN?

@Cox101_saratosa 

To enter a 6 digit IP PIN

• Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
• Click on Other Tax Situations
• Scroll down to Other Return Info
• On Identity Protection PIN, click the start button

Or enter ip pin in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to ip pin

The instructions received for "Search IP PIN" after receiving a rejection are completely incorrect.  It seems this is an ongoing issue...  

The direct answer is to search "identity protection pin"   NOT    "IP PIN"   

The Step-by-Step location to input the PIN is:

PERSONAL / Other Tax Situations / Other Return Info     The "Identity Protection PIN" field is located here.

Alternately, you can use FORMS to access the Identity Protection PIN field

Go to FORMS   This should open the FORM 1040 or FORM 1040-SR WORKSHEET

Go to Info Wks  This should take you to Page 3. 

About a quarter way down, you will see..  Identity Protection PIN

Fill in your IP PIN here.

I hope this helps !!

@larmac42 Where did you run into the problem?  Works using the online editions -

[Critter-3]

Did not work in my online version which is why I gave the other option ... of course if you follow the interview screens step by step and don't skip any of them then the question about the IP PIN is automatically asked for everyone along with the $3 donation to the president election fund.

I use the Home and Business version loaded on my PC..   I have used Turbo Tax for many years and this is my first rejected return 

[Critter-3]

What is the exaxt error message or code ? 

[larmac42]

I apologize for not getting back.. I followed the prompts more closely, opened the forms and was able to locate the PIN field where I input my PIN.  thank you for responding and helping.

@larmac42 Although you have entered a PIN, you do realize you are too late to e-file, right?  E-filing for 2021 returns is closed.   You cannot e-file using TurboTax now.   The only way to file your tax return is by mail.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

If you had started the return prior to 10/31/22 then you have until 11/17/22 to file thru the TT program .... so do it soon.

[markchipman]

What instructions? The link gives me the home page.

I need to find out where to enter my IP Pin number in 2022 version of TT.

[Critter-3]

In Online TurboTax, here are 3 ways to get to the right place to enter the IP PIN.  You only need to use one method.   You can choose which method works for you the best.

• Open the interview back up and click in the top right on the SEARCH icon.
• 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 Situation
• 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.

where is the blue button

[Skarabrae]

Go to the tab labeled "Federal Taxes," look for "other Return Info," and under that title, look for "Identity Protection PIN." To the right of that is the blue button called "Start," click that button and read the instructions.  Enter the PIN the IRS sent you, review the PIN number, make any changes and save.
