Identity Theft Protection PIN

🔍 Identity Protection PIN - What This Guide Covers

This article explains where to enter an IRS Identity Protection PIN on the return.

⚠️ Before You Begin

You will need:

Your client’s IRS Identity Protection PIN (if issued).
Access to the Main Information sheet in your return.

📊 Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Enter the Identity Protection PIN

Go to the Main Information sheet and enter the Identity Protection PIN in the designated field. The field is located below the section where the taxpayers' PINs are entered to authorize you to e-file their returns.

Step 2: Confirm which taxpayer is the PIN holder

If the PIN was issued to the spouse (not the primary taxpayer), switch the information on the return so the spouse is listed as the primary taxpayer with the PIN.

❌ Common Errors

If the return rejects the PIN, re-check that you entered the PIN for the correct taxpayer (primary vs. spouse).
