If you did not receive a 6 digit IP PIN issued to you by the IRS, then you do not enter an IP PIN.

The IRS has eliminated the use of a PIN to e-file your 2019 tax return.  To verify your identity for e-filing will use last year's adjusted gross income (AGI) as your PIN.  

You can get a copy of your 2018 tax return, from TurboTax it will have your AGI.  Follow these steps to get a copy of your prior-year tax return. 

Sign in to TurboTax making sure you're using the same TurboTax account (with the same username) as in prior years.
