How do I add or remove my 6-digit IP PIN?
by TurboTax•658• Updated 1 month ago
Follow these instructions to enter your Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN) or to remove an IP PIN that you accidentally entered.
- Open or continue your return.
- Navigate to the IP PIN section:
- TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to IP PIN.
- TurboTax Desktop: Search for IP pin (don't forget the space) and select the Jump to link.
- On the Identity Protection PIN screen, answer Yes. Select Add and enter your IP PIN in the space provided.
- If you need to remove the IP PIN, select the trash icon.
- Select Continue, then select Done.
An IP PIN and a Self-Select PIN are two different things.
- An IP PIN is a 6-digit number that the IRS gives taxpayers who were victims of tax-related identity theft.
- A Self-Select PIN is a random 5-digit number that you enter as your electronic signature when e-filing your return.
