How do I add or remove my 6-digit IP PIN?
Follow these instructions to enter your Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN) or to remove an IP PIN that you accidentally entered.
Navigate to the IP PIN section:
TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to the IP PIN screen under Other Tax Situations.
TurboTax Desktop:
Go to Federal Taxes.
Go to Other Tax Situations.
Under Other Return Info, select Start or Update next to Identity protection PIN.
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. Someone can also self-register to receive an IP PIN.
A Self-Select PIN is a random 5-digit number that you enter as your electronic signature when e-filing your return.
