If a dependent or qualifying person listed on your return has ever received an IP PIN, a CP01A notice, or opted into the IRS's IP PIN pilot program, that person's special 6-digit IP PIN needs to be on the return to validate their identity for e-filing.
First, find your dependent or qualifying person's 6-digit IP PIN:
- Look on the CP01A letter they received in December or January for their 2022 taxes. IP PINs from prior tax years won't work
- If they lost or never got a CP01A letter, retrieve their IP PIN online at the IRS's Get an IP PIN site
- If unable to retrieve their IP PIN online, you can have it reissued (allow up to 21 days). More info
After you find the PIN:
- Sign in to TurboTax if you haven't already signed in
- If you're a mobile user, you'll need to sign in using your browser instead of the TurboTax app
- Select any Fix buttons you see before proceeding to the next step
- At the Welcome back to TurboTax message, select Fix It Now
- Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your dependent or qualifying person's 2022 IP PIN and refile your return
